Tables - Inside & Out

Robert Griem, Iota, #302

I would like to share the solution that the former owner of my Triton came up with. The table is a piece of butcherblock, mounted on an arm which swivels 360 degrees at a pivot point in the center of the table. This arm, in turn, mounts on a post which has a 360 degree pivot at its top. The upright post is mounted on a removable slide on the starboard vertical side of the setee. In this configuration, the table can be swiveled easily to whatever position is handy for the situation. It can be put inbetween the setees for dining, or put mid setee on the starboard side for chart work, or lowered and put adjacent to the galley for more counterspace. It can be removed completely from the cabin, and with its matching slide mount in the cockpit, it can be swiveled all over the cockpit also. This is a very handy solution for boats the size of the Triton.

I first saw (this table) at the San Diego boat show in '95, and purchased one through West Marine about a year and a half ago for KAHOLEE. It has been described as the best improvement of all, as we no longer have to balance our plates in our laps. It also makes a good nav table, both in the cockpit, and below.

PEGASUS table solutions: 1. Main table hangs on the head door; 2. Main table moved to the cockpit and; 3. Fold down chart table/extra counter space when I'm by myself. I bought the solid cheery table (with a cracked leg) at a thrift store for $5. Sanded, stained and varnished the top and hang it on the head door with SS table holders purchased at West Marine. Stows in the VBerth when not in use.
