This site is intended to be a guide to those who are seeking to buy, build, or sail a pocket cruising sailboat. In my shopping around for a pocket cruiser, I found that there were few websites dedicated only to this type of boat. I thought I'd share what I found with other web cruisers. I'm defining pocket cruiser as a trailerable, easily launchable sailboat of 30 feet or less with a cabin that provides some sleeping quarters. These boats should be fairly easy to handle on the road behind typical cars. A smaller boat is less expensive to buy and maintain. Almost anyone can afford a used pocket cruiser, so ownership is open to almost anyone. I hope you enjoy your visit - Chip

The Pocket Yachts are at the core of Stevenson Projects' building adventures. These four boats are our most popular projects and can offer great adventures — sporty sailing fun, romantic weekend cruises, transformative summer projects, swashbuckling journeys exploring your local lake — thousands of builders have had all sorts of satisfying experiences in these boats. Technically, the Super-Skipjack isn't really a Pocket Yacht (in that it doesn't have a cabin) but as it is directly in the same family of designs as the Weekender and Vacationer, we think it should be here as well. A few builders in the past have chosen to leave the cabin off the Weekender to create open-decked versions; now the Super-Skipjack fills that desire handily!

Five times, (now seven) Dave and Mindy Bolduc have crossed nearly 65 miles of open ocean between Florida and the Bahamas aboard "Little Cruiser," their 15-foot, Matt Layden-designed sailboat. 

The Robert Manry Project is a multimedia effort to remember the life of Robert Neal Manry, a unique American who sailed into history in 1965 when he completed a successful 78-day solo voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in his tiny wooden sailboat, Tinkerbelle.
