Hi All,
Just sharing my new (almost complete) cockpit table. The old table was kind of rotten and I only two weeks to get the new together before we cruised the Hauraki Gulf in New Zealand.
It has the usual flaps for creating more area for food and drinks, however, the difference is that the centre section also holds the GPS and Radar unit.
The original idea was to have a folding top but this did not work out. Having used it for two weeks I found that for longer passages it was best with the panel that holds the instruments withdrawn from the table and locked into place. The table top slides into place and pins the base of the instrument panel.
On short trips between anchorages, the instruments are still clearly visible when inside the table i.e. the panel in its ‘home’ position.
When all is done, the panel slips down and the top slides into place, with the pins securing the panel, and is lockable. The table also houses speakers and a power point.
Cheers
Dennis

I’d like to see that table, Dennis, but the link you provided requires
me to sign in with some Google thing, which I’d rather not do. Can you
post them public ally?Thanks,
Tor

I removed the legs on the Edson table that came with my boat years ago and installed a barrel bolt that goes into the sail track in the mizzen. It works great when at anchor. In a thirty knot blow I had trouble with the movement of the rig shaking the crap out of the pedistal. I wonder how you have attached the table. Also do you think that putting the pedistal in contact with the standing rigging while underway could cause problems for the mizzen or the pedistal? I don’t use the table while underway any more

Linus,
I tapped a 6mm thread into the mizzen track and bolted it through the table on the one end. On the other end there are two supports on the steering pedestal that are also attached, and provide support.
My intention is to use some attachment that will secure the top of the panel to the mizzen track. Currently the table top has two pins that go through the base that hold it in place. The two pins go through the base into the table.
There is no contact with the standing rigging, however, I have yet to try it out in rough conditions and hope that it does not shake things around – too much!
