Has anyone converted the port settee to a u shaped drop down table? The table in the center of the boat takes up so much space. I know that some Downeaster 38's had this design, but I'd like to know if anyone has made the conversion, and can help with the design and modification.

This is on our to do list also. We removed the stock table a year or so ago and love the open feeling with it gone. I am planning on building a drop down replacement but haven't gotten around to it yet. No design so far .... I am planning a wood burning stove that I will build that sits under where the table will attache and until I design that I can't design the table that will have to work around the stove.

I have made my table stowable on the wall. It works great.
I use 2 catches to hold it and have been sailing in some pretty rough weather and its tight.
I will take pics tomorrow in the daylight for you…

I copied a design that was on my old CS27

Here is pictures of someones fold up table 🙂 or drop down table on a DE32. I am going to build something just like this only with it able to rotate to allow for adjustment to the angle of heel of the boat and with about a 6 inch deep shelf unit behind it that is the same size as the table. The table will close up over the front of the shelves. 🙂 also I plan on a small wood burning stove underneath it with the chimney running up through the shelves and then to port before going through the deck. 🙂 that will be a later project.
