Actually, I would say that except for day cruising, it's an essential thing
to have.

How often did you use beside for writing? Certainly not much I suspect
for
an hour or three sail.

Used it when we went sailing around NY harbor, Thimble Islands, Norwalk
and pretty much any time we took the boat someplace new, like
Centerport or Port Jeff. As a desk it was used often and it's where the
computer was situated as well. A nav station/desk is a nice thing to
have and if we see our long term plans through ours will get plenty of
use over the next 4-5 years. Like the swim platform it's just another
nice thing to have, even better when it's a proper size. The nav table
on Alien, while typical of most boats under 40 feet, was a bit small.
