I am about to put saw and router to a boat buck's worth of solid
surface material. I have the galley and head counters laid out and
templates made just right but before I cut I need to figure out the
salon table so I am looking for opinions.

Some people say fiddle rails are a must and others say they just get
in the way. Rutu is designed from the beginning to be an island
hopper not a world cruiser. I could make them removable but that
presents a storage problem and puts 8 to 10 holes in the surface.

There are some excellent non-slip matting materials around which are
virtually as good as shallow fiddle rails. You can roll them up and stow
them in a few seconds.
