does anybody have a simple formula for building a retractable table which legs would go into the the two holes originally there for a folding table. Thanks in advance for any information on building one or where I may find one.

My table came with the boat, without legs. I recently used 2 stainless "pipes" from a local supplier after determining the inside diameter of the keel mounts. the originals were aluminum and everybody threw them away as they reacted with the ss keel mounts. I used spring loaded hinges from Lowe's for the leafs instead of the complicated bent wires used with the original, which I didn't get with the table anyway. the original table is huge and takes up a ton of space,which is why nobody uses them. I took mine back off after having it on the boat a short while!

After 10 years of not using the table ... I took the starboard leaf off. After five years of still not using the table, I took it out and into the basement. BUT the problem is that it is a wide open cabin and the table did provide a partition to keep the sails out of the way on the port side. Then just opted for a couple of bucks worth of 1-1/4 pvc to make a rope hanger, grab rail, and floor divider. U shape with about 15 in. legs that have a screw though the existing holes in the legs to lock the PVC in. The legs are covered with white spiral wound shrink wrap tape. And it is handy walking through the cabin with any kind of boat motion.

Vic, Did you not get any issues removing the Legs? Mine (original one I presumed) are dead stuck. I came to the same conclusion than you (let's remove them) but was hesitating sawing them, just to keep the option to reinstall them - never know... Thanks, -- Georges
