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.

Foredecks / update
Got both decks on. George came over Saturday and we got a lot done. We put the port side on and cleaned up the interior. We also got backing plates for the traveler controls and the holes drilled for the rudder gudgeons.
George checking if the deck meets the shear
Backing plate
Starboard side deck. Duct tape fixes everything.
