Topic: table/bunk board
Wow, this web site is a great sourse of ideas for the new Contessa owner! My '85 model came with the original table - the one mounted on a steel post and that folds down to latch on the stbd bunk edge. In the interest of improving sleeping arrangements for myself, and my partner when aboard, I'd like to remove this table and make a board that would serve two purposes: 1) a board to go between the quarter berths to widen out that area (we are not small, narrow people!). 2) a table when needed. I noticed on pictures of Adrian's (formerly Adrian's) boat that he had a stowable table but the photos don't show how it's mounted. Before I re-invent the wheel, has anyone else created such a dual purpose item, and if so, how'd ya do it?
