Finishing up taping so the varnish doesn't run.

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.

Home stretch
Slow going here but we did manage to get the entire boat sanded down to 220 grit. I wanted to start with 60 grit but George had a different idea. So I let him sand! We finally got the first coat of varnish on the deck. Using Captain's Varnish.
Finishing up taping so the varnish doesn't run.
First coat. Looks good.
