Topic: CHART Table

Does anyone have any suggestions or designs as to what works for a chart table. 
Since the boat is so narrow a full chart table I am sure is a stretch.  Often you see an extension off the starboard side mid cabin, where the stove is placed and it has a hard cover when not in use.  However on this surface there is trim or a lip to hold items in place.
I was hoping for a space about 2ft X 3ft.
Any reply and or pictures is appreciated.   thanks

Re: CHART Table

I posted a couple of pictures of a UK Contessa and the chart table solution it's owner developed.  With the right drawer slides I think one could eliminate the metal support which appears in the foreground of the deployed table.

You could also hinge a panel between the icebox and the sink and lower it out of the way when not in use.

There is a great pivoting cabin table elsewhere on this site which might easily double as a chart table.

Good luck!
