Fran Abbott owned a boat yard in Ocean City NJ. in the 1950's. He built this boat and many more like it for the Ocean City YC Moth boat fleet. This boat was found in a pile of trash in Chestertown MD. We are going to restore her.

Kind of looks like a boat
This is a project I've had for a few years. I've done enough boats that I think I can do this one. We'll see...
Your a man after my heart ! For years I have found and done my best to restore old boats..I love the lines of your project. Winter for some is slow, but working small sailboats brings the sun back to me..
I grew up right outside Phily and never heard of that place. If your boat is as old as the number you said it is then that shop would have dated to the 1930's

ReplyDeleteMy Moth came from Kerrigan Boat Works in Philadelphia. Can you find anything out about them?
