Is is possible that the Michalek boat to which you are refering is
"MusicBox3?"

Here's a link to it:

Bubba,you might want to look at Jim michalaks site. I don't have the
url. Iusually just type in Jim Michalak and clik. He has the boat
you are looking for. I think he calls it Mirror. It's a micro with
leeboards and no keel. Take a look at the other boats as well.
Go to the back issues list and you will find clickable links to
all of them. Milton

Stephen,
I am not aware of a MICRO with leeboards.However,if Bolger has
done one,I doubt it would also have the original keel ballast
structure that you speak of........
Perhaps you are thinking of his design CYNTHIA J.?Check out
the"files"section for a look at her.
And yes,there will be a "rendez-vous".That is,the LAKE CHAMPLAIN
BOLGER MESSABOUT this summer on the weekend of AUGUST 4th and
5th.Come on down(or is it up?!),I'm sure old Ft.Ticonderoga is still
there.....;-)
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,already feeling the nervous twitchings of a wonderful
summers' cruise down to Lake Champlain despite this endless freezing
madness,on the shores of the St.Lawrence.........

Hi,

My name is Stephen Kandul from the Coastal Empire of Georgia, and I am
new to the Bolger group here. My buddies call me Bubba K. or Gronicle,
at least when they are not cussin me.

Does anyone have any experience with the Navigator version of the Micro?
I am kind of interested in the type because of the head room and
camping possiblities it seems to offer for an older, fatter sort of guy
who doesn't low crawl under the deckhead in the forward end of small
boats any more. Also, I am looking for info on the leeboard equiped
version of Micro. Does the boat still require the keel/ballast
structure of the orginal Micro?? Has anyone built and sailed one of
Phil's sort of half Chinese Lug sails for a Micro? Any comments on
construction or use?

I just finished a six hour canoe a couple months ago and have a hull for
a scow boat in the back yard formed up. Think the scow is going to end
up as garden shed as the 1/2" ply exterior is delaminating faster than I
can build the boat. I am thinking of switching gear to a Clam Skiff
which would be more usable (I hope) in the rivers and estuaries of the
Low Country here. I am kind of intimidated by "material" issues this
year. Seems like even the fir marine ply we get around here will rot
out under you in a couple years unless it is totally encapsalated. And
lord help you if you don't like checks in the ply!

If there is going to be a rondevous on Lake Champlain this August I
might find a good excuse to go visit my in-laws in MASS and drop over.
Long time since I did a reconnassiance on the approaches to Ft.
Ticonderoga. Have to read the Leatherstocking Tales again....
