This faux pas cost Joe B. the regatta). This was before we had the Gen I & II divisions and shows that a Cates in the right hands could be competitive against the best boats of that era. Jeff Linton also was able to almost beat Mark Saunders and co. the first time he raced a Moth down at St. Pete, sailing an old beat up Fletcher-Cates he borrowed from Ken Willus.George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273883632460433399.post-22658064008717319302014-11-06T17:42:08.745-08:002014-11-06T17:42:08.745-08:00Make that a "Lindenberg" not Lindenberge...Make that a "Lindenberg" not Lindenberger.
