Resolve C42 MKII	Speaking of the Table		Lead	[-]
Posts: 11 04/16/08 10:12:34	Tags : None We are the new owners of #483 2 Cabin Pullman. In the past, on my C30, we rarely used a table down below. We even more rarely made the table intoa bed. For Resolve, I am thinking of making a smaller, "cocktail" size table that will remain on the small posts. I have already made a template of the existing table top, plan on taking an amount, say 8", off of the perimeter of the template and make a smaller table top to sit on the short posts. Has anyone attempted such a project? If so, pictures would be great. Thanks, Mike Vaccaro "Resolve" 1995 C 42 MKII #483 WK 2 Cabin Pullman Sailor's Wharf, Mill Creek Annapolis, MD USA

Posts: 52 04/16/08 14:46:26	See my pics... I did a conversion of the table to a completly new design..the original table sucks....too big not comfortable...seats not easily accessable...etc etc.etc... My design includes.... 1.) no fiddles 2.) large table has space to get into and out of the the seats easily small table allows easy total seating use 3.) a bed made from half cushion of the original design underneath when needed... and still seat two for dinner 4.) larger table stores under the aft berth when using the smaller coffee/cocktail table only 5.) larger table held in place by 4 wingnut headed bolts from beneath and thru the coffee table homepage.mac.com/tomcharron/PhotoAlbum7.html Hope this helps..

Posts: 7 04/16/08 18:14:50	We have 823, a 2002 MkII pullman, 2 cabin. Yes, the saloon table has its issues. The main problem was a lack of easy access to the wine locker on the port side! A fellow sailor and cabinet maker offered a solution which we executed. He sliced the table top laterally creating two leaves, one forward and one aft with enough left in the middle over the two supports to be useful for cocktails, etc. He installed full length piano hinges on each leaf, finished the raw edges nicely and installed aluminum slide out supports for each leaf. Now we can fold either or both leaves down as required and still have the option of using the table top to create the saloon berth if needed. Our support posts are arranged laterally across the beam. I know some are installed at an angle and this could limit the ability to apply this mod. Email me and I can hook you up to my cabinet-maker friend who is, by the way, the owner of a C36.

Posts: 11 04/18/08 05:47:41	Tom, Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a nice mod. My supports are angledd so I think I'll try my smaller lower design first. I plan on making the table top from scratch and keep the original. BTW, my wine celler is in the bilge so the table does not interfere. THe po added a removable floor that works quite well.

Posts: 52 04/25/08 14:03:01	Here are some more pics of Conversion done on C42 #631 to table and bed. 1.) Table Conversion allows easy access forward and aft.... (was great for living aboard and using computer etc) 2.) Bed Conversion allows one person (or two small grandkids) to sleep on port side with table in place! 3.) Bed platform and Large table top can easily store in aft starboard stateroom under cushions 4.) Small table can be used any time...great for group munchies and wine parties down below......(easy access 360degrees) homepage.mac.com/tomcharron/PhotoAlbum7.html I do enjoy this set up much more than using the stock table supplied by Catalina.... If one does want to use the whole half/bed and remove the Small table, Caps with a Rail between can be built to fit on/in the Tube tops........I just have not done this yet!!!
