Starboard decks.
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.

Seat/poop decks/update
I have been plodding along getting things moved. Weather has not cooperated. We have had day after day of rain. Not good for cutting and working outside. However, I did get the rest of the boat closed in. Almost there.
This is the mast boss. Should give us a good spot to hang a c ring to hold turning blocks for sail controls.
Rough fit
Port decks
I trimmed the excess wood with the router and a straight cutting bit.
Rub rails. Made these from a old chunk of mahogany
