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.

Mast tube.
Got a little bit more done. I made little gussets for the mast step and got that glued in, Also got the tube fitted and glued in. I put masking tape on the bottom of the partner and then trickled in semi-thickened goop. We'll see how this all looks tomorrow...
This is the fwd CB case strut.
