My table folds up to the bulkhead. I like that style. Never use the
table while I'm sailing.

Nutsy,

For the way you sail, and this isn't a criticism, a boat on a voyage
under sail doesn't need a dinette. Sitting at a 15 degree side slant
or
better doesn't make for comfortable eating or even just sitting.

When I brought "Pneuma" she had the most beautiful teak drop leaf
table
you would ever see. I said take it out. I had more damn trouble
getting
them to remove that damn table than you could imagine. They insisted
that I needed a table. I said, then make a table I can bolt to the
wall.
They responded that they could make a hinge table that would swing
up
but it wouldn't be much of a table. My reply; "Would it hold two
dishes?" That is what we settled on. I'm happy and I have the Cabin
room I wanted, with the Inside Steering Station
