The first pix is the back stop for the rails
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.

Misc. parts
I'm in the final woodworking stage for the Cates. I fabricated inner rails for the seat area. Your legs will thank you for that. George A reminded me that I need a mast boss. That's the chunk of wood that goes around the mast step opening. It keeps the mast movement from chewing up the opening. I'll cut the hole tomorrow...
