Bolger Micro
Description
The Micro is a 15.5-foot plywood pocket cruiser designed by Phil Bolger in the early 1980s, emphasizing simplicity, low-cost construction, and solo coastal sailing. It’s a precursor to the Long Micro (19.5–20 ft), sharing the same minimalist, sharpie-style philosophy but in a smaller, even more portable package. It’s ideal for amateur builders and sailors seeking adventure on a budget.
