Hi Pat,

No, I don’t believe the post is structural. In fact, Lee (Morning Glory)
has removed his and made a box to sit on there.

The post is not structural.

Interesting to see what folks have done with the original nav station. As
built, the nav station was less than confortable. I banged my head against
the breakers one too many time. I made the table deeper and move the post
inboard. With a wider table-top, the nav-station is more comfortable.

I met the orignal owner of Sea-duty about 20 years ago on a rendezvous. As
I recall, he was a retired navy captain.
