I'm not sure I completely agree. I like to be near the instruments when
doing chart work. Size-wise, the table is fine, but a proper chart table
seems pretty important to me. On the boat I teach on, we never fold down the
table.. too much hassle, but I do ask students to do plots.

Interesting point on "proper seaboats and Nav tables". How important
is
a proper nav table?


For MOST sailers (and no one here would ever admit to being one of
those!) a nav table is not needed. Charts can be spread out just as
well and often better on the main table. A lot of nav station surfaces
look great, but are too small, even on pricey new boats.
