The Microsail is a Micro Class racing keelboat[excessive citations] first built by Jeanneau in France for French Micro Cup racing. It was later built by a number of companies, including C.N. Loire up until 2000. After 2000 it was only available as a kit for amateur construction until Construction Navale Franck Roy commenced building the design again in 2007.

Designed by Gary Mull the fiberglass hull has a transom-hung rudder.

The boat has a draft of 3.61 ft (1.10 m) with the lifting keel down and 0.66 ft (0.20 m) with the keel retracted. The boat has a hull speed of 5.43 kn (10.06 km/h).

It has a fractional sloop rig.
