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.

Ready for the bottom.
I got most everything faired and glued in. I shave down the stringers to match the angle of the bottom. The stringers got twisted when we bent them. The butt joint in the pix is held straight by a temp stick.
