I did manage to get the new splash boards on and I got one coat of spar varnish on. The boat has 6 coats of spar urethane
One more coat of varnish and then I'll start putting all the parts back on the boat.
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.

I'm back...
I haven't worked on the Cates for two weeks. I've been spending my time on the Abbott.

Looks good!
