J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Anyone with a drop leaf table to sell?

Hello Gang, I bought a J30 about a year ago and I have been restoring it to my comfort for crusing with the family. I am missing the original table that came with it and have been looking around for a replacement. I am in the Annapolis area and was wondering if anyone had one or know where I could obtain a replacement. Thanks in advance, No doubt Chris

I have one I might be willing to sell. The tubes were frozen into the receiving holes so I had to cut them and threw them away but thetable itself is in good shape.

Hello Phil,
Thanks for your hasty reply. Hope you are in good health. I would like to see the item and negotiate a price with you. Could you please let me know when you would be available for viewing. Do you know if they sell the replacement tubings? I will try to see if they can be obtain locally also. I will be away on business from Thursday of this week thru to Wednesday the 18th of January 06. So I can make arrangements to see it anytime them, what's your location. I am marvelled at the speed of these responses. I posted the ad last night and today I have receive two thus far. You can reply to me at donchris30@hotmail.com.
Thanks again in advance,
Chris

I'm in Richmond, but the table is in Baltimore. I may be in Baltimore this weekend, if I am I'll take some photos for you.

The posts are standard aluminum tubes, you should be able to get them at any of the large home stores(Home Depot, Lowes, etc.).

Send me your e-mail address and I'll send you photos as soon as I can.

Hello Phil,
Thanks again for your correspondence and updates. I did include my email address prior, it is donchris30@hotmail.com and home phone is 703-971-4815 (H) 703-564-7423(W). I will however be away on business this weekend, but I am very interested in seeing the table and making the necessary arrangements to complete this transaction. Give a call or write to my address at your earliest convenience.
Respectfully,
Chris I can make arrangement for tomorrow or Wednesday to have it picked up or if not possible next weekend would definately work.

I replaced my metal posts with PVC of the same diameter.... it won't stick which the metal ones eventually will

Thanks for the insight and information. I will definately try that approach. Will let you know how it worked for me, as soon as I implement it.

No doubt,
Chris
