I am about to put saw and router to a boat buck's worth of solid surface

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.

Yup. I find all they do is tip things over as they're sliding off.

We always had the salon table down in Far Cove, making a nice big
"nesting area" for my Lady, who likes to do various things (from
reading to beadwork to writing HTML code...) while we're sailing.
However, Far Cove DID have a small "kid's table" that we used to eat
on, and a chart table. On my new boat, the salon table is the ONLY
table, so so far it's used to hold tools and small engine parts, but I
suspect it will be used to hold charts, instruments, tools, books and
magazines, cellphone, drinks... (you get the idea!)
