Cutting the chine log with my second most favorite tool, the electric planer. My most favorite tool is the belt sander!!!
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.

Chine log
The stringers fit the boat quite well. I shaved the side rail to take the bottom. Next up is to glue the stringers in and fit the bottom butt joint support in place. Coming along nicely.

This is George rounding over the corners of the stringers that will sit in the bottom of the boat.
