Mac 26D Dinette Table

posted 10-07-2008 by Ramblin Rod Brandon

From top to bottom:

1. Cupboard door with clock, barometer, and thermometer.

2. Wine glass rack.

3. Dish and utensil holders.

4. Perhaps the best modification is the nice wood daggerboard sheath cover.

Galley Modifications

This is no ordinary daggerboard cover.

Here, my lovely assistant Ondine is unlatching the barrel bolt.

Daggerboard Cover Bolt

Ondine has swung out the daggerboard cover about 90 degrees so you can get a better look at the grain and finish.

Good Look At Daggerboard Cover

When the cover is swung out 180 degrees and tilted forward, the legs drop down.

Wait a minute!

Why does a daggerboard cover need legs?

Hey, Thats A Funny Looking Daggerboard Cover!

The table is 16 x 24 and just big enough for two people to eat at.

Need more room?

Add in a 12 leaf to make it 16 x 36.

(The leaf is used as a sink cover for counter space when the table is in the stowed position.)

A Daggerboard Cover You Can Eat On!

With the leaf added, theres lots of room for two.

Can fit 4 plates if everyone sits elbow to elbow.

Whats more, the table easily slides off the swing out bar so it can be transfered to the cockpit for moonlight dining.

Sure beats drudging that big heavy black board out from under the aft berth and fishing for the wobbly leg to prop it up with!
