Default Fiddle rails on Salon tables, Yes or No?

Looks like fiddle rails are out and non-slip mats are in. Thanks,
that makes the table building a lit simpler.

As to dispensing with the salon table all together I don't mind as I
eat in the cockpit 99% of the time but there are certain compromises
like inverter, A/C in the slip and salon tables, that must be made in
the spirit of matrimonial harmony. :-)


Several companies sell dishes that have foam rings attached to their
bottoms that keep them from sliding. They work well. You could always make
your own to fit existing dishes.

If it's rough enough to worry about dishes sliding, we eat out of bowls
that we hold in our hands. A fiddle that's small enough to not be a pain
probably isn't useful.
