I fitted the aft deck and we'll get some glue on it this afternoon. She is starting to look like a Moth again.
This blog is about the restoration of a 1963 Fletcher Cates Moth boat. The boat was made in Haddenfield NJ. By Blair Fletcher. Blair Owed Fletcher Marine and made many boats for the Moth fleets of Southern NJ. I sailed against these boats with a Cates design by Carl Patterson. I built my Cates at Pattersons' shop around the same time this boat was under construction. This picture was taken September 1965. It's me in my Patterson Cates.

Foredeck
The packing tape worked. The glue setup overnight and I had some time to fit the other deck. It took about an hour to fit the two sides. I did have to use nails to hold the deck on.
I fitted the aft deck and we'll get some glue on it this afternoon. She is starting to look like a Moth again.
And we have all the decks on the boat.
