An item that leaves a lasting impression of our boats is the finish and the detail of the main salon table. In my role as "company listener" I spend a lot of boat show hours just standing aboard our boats and waiting for comments. Second only to "why the heck do we need to take off our shoes?" the table finish is a big deal. I can tell you that our tables are a lot prettier than the foot odor we have to deal with some days. Maybe we should insist that people leave their shoes on?
Here's an image of the table top prior to being fitted into the boat. It's typically the last thing installed prior to shipping and the boat ships to the commissioning yard later this week. This is a leaf table but not a drop-leaf table. These leaves rise and flip over on top of the center leaf. Flip over creates knee room below the table where as drop leaf puts the leaves right in front of your knees. The concept here is to convert the salon to a living space once the dishes are cleared rather than sitting around in the dining room for the rest of the evening. The table is mounted on a hi-lo base and it also has a slider to open up the aft end of the settee.
The details just keep coming.
