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.

Woodwork is done
Finally. I made rub rails for the inside and outside. Makes life easier on your legs and butt while hiking. Pegasus cane in at 73 pounds. Another 5 for deck goobers and varnish and we're done at about 78 pounds. Not bad.
