Hello Bill -

We are about two hours away from where you are two hours from.

First off, I am sure you are aware of the 'folding down the cabin door into the cockpit with the wobbly stick screwed onto it' method which is in the design.

If this isn't sufficient for you, you may want to check out the design on the South Carolina Potters Club - http://members.carol.net/georges/VBerth-table.htm .  This is a clever idea which also enlarges the V-berth.

Our cooler fits perfectly in the cockpit in front of the companionway.  This is simple, sturdy, and works for us.  When it isn't our table, it is a footrest or an extra seat.  When we don't want it around, it just fits in the storage area under the V-berth on the port side.

Hope this helps.

Hey Webgang,
Thanks for the help on my missing mast step pin some months ago--especially Jerry--with your description I got a local machine shop to make a
perfect fit.  It was getting warm here in the Carolinas and we are still planning on sailing in a week or so (the kids spring break) if this only
glimpse of winter all year goes away.  In finishing up my outfitting for the spring and summer one problem keeps coming up where in the world
can we mount, jury rig etc a table.  I started wering bow ties because most of my meals end up on my shirt so I need all of the help I can get  and
a 6 and 8 year old, well you get the picture.  I'm curious as to how others take care of the culinary arts or at least consuming them.
 
I love reading all of the technical stuff , most of which I do not understand, but keep it coming. With the recent mail I can now make sense of all
of the garble on the back of my boat and figure out my hull number.  And after months of debate our hull now has a name.
