Interesting point on "proper seaboats and Nav tables". How

important is

a proper nav table? I am of the opinion that unless you are

plotting

visual/astro fixes, a big nav table is a waste of space. And

who plots

fixes these days? The nav table on my 102 footer is just where

we store

the charts and sit our coffees. On my 33 footer I just fold

the chart

and hold it in my hand or watch the laptop.

Comments?



No I haven't posted any but there is one of it on the Bill Garden
website at:
http://www.wholeboat.net/index.php?o...2&key=22&hit=1
It's actually a Truant 33 not a 37. The owners of the website have it
wrong.
Now you guys can hack my boat.

Not the best pic, but looks like a nice boat. Why 'Plumper'?

What about the big boat?

We don't really hack boats here, only Bob does that. The rest of us
just hack Bob.

I've never seen a Truant, but I've seen a Saturna in Maine built by
Wiggers. Pretty slick boat.

Do you have more pics of yours?

The nav table on the Nordica 30 is to stbrd at the companionway. The
original design had it incorporated with a pilot berth under the cockpit
seat. I removed the berth and extended the bulkhead then opened up the
access to allow for better stowage and additional tankage. I used the new
area to accommodate all electronics, wiring, bus bars, breakers, house bank,
inverter etc. It also had the added benefit of extending the table to
accommodate a full chart...... something most boats to 45 ft don't have.

I'll have to find and post a pic since the vessel is packed away for the
winter.

Mooron, I think you missed my query on the Nordica 30's nav station.
Being a proper seaboat, she must have a nav station with a well sized
chart table. Can I see a pic?

The 35s5 has a nice chart table....quite large and ample with stowage
below for charts and nav tools.

I don't see a nav station in any Nordica 30 pics...probably just the
angle or some interiors screwed up by owners.

I bet it's not "retractable" either!

Doug's sailboat has no nav station of any kind, Mooron. And I bet the
one on his trawler is smaller than mine...in fact I know it is!

Excuse me, I have to go clean the coffee off my desk.

Its not a chart table, its a changing table!


There is a changing table that flips down in the head. It was an
option.

Nope... solid teak, lift the lid to access the plotting equipment. Charts
are rolled and stored under the table in a compartment designed for that
purpose. The new extension mates to the original table and has the
electrical/electronic /batteries under the lid, in 3 separate shelves.

Do you anticipate any problems when one person needs to cook and the other
needs to do chart work? I like the idea of saving space, but I'm not sure
I'd like a chart table that is over the stove. Also, when cooking, what do
you do about keeping the steam away from the instruments?
