I have the updates but not handy at the moment. Many changes apply
mostly to the Navigator version but some also adaptable to the regular
version.

Beginning at the bow. It is now pointy and anti-kerphumping, with the
mast on a tabernacle with the bow well now draining to each side -
like Long Micro. Also a larger rig with a spinnaker option. (210 sq ft
total) With the mast further f'wd there is now a f'wd companionway
added for access to what is a small cockpit up there.

They have also added end plates to the rudder and a larger mizzen area
with battens to prevent slatting. Now my memory fails me, but there
are likely some other changes.

I believe the update sheet costs $50 and you still need a regular set
of plans. Some additional details are in MAIB for May 15, 2005.

Essentially you have about four different options of the basic design!

I heard that Bolger has updated the Micro design. Anybody know what
has changed?
