While we appreciated the U shaped dinette in our last boat for the easy passage forward, we ended up with a centerline table this last time around.
I'm not a huge fan of this arrangement, finding the table often in the way... however this one is quite clever.
The folded-over top section is fiddled so things will stay on the table in a seaway of need be. When it's flipped over to starboard, it serves the starboard settee quite well (though like all center
line tables now blocks passage forward) and the port side dropleaf can be raised to create a large, fiddle free table for dining or a card game at
anchor, or in calm conditions. In addition there is a cutlery drawer conveniently built in as you can see.
