13 ft Motor Launch 'Loopen' #178

This miniature motor launch was originally built as a tender for a Dutch barge yacht, but makes a perfect small picnic boat for inland and sheltered waters.  It is a complex and absorbing building project that will provide hundreds of hours of enjoyment for the experienced woodworker seeking a showpiece.
