CD 27 - Salon Table

[Richard G.]

Wondering if anyone with an earlier model CD 27 with the fixed table has ever removed it. Is it an easy in/out?

Thanks.

Just happened to be reading this right before seeing your post. I'm not sure if it's applicable, but it's interesting

Dear Richard,
I don't know if my 1977 CD 27 has the only model of the "fixed" table, but it does have a fixed table if by fixed you mean one that is not designed to fold up against the bulkhead. Mine sits on two stout chrome posts that each fit into metal sockets imbedded in the cabin sole. I did not realize for the first year of ownership that the table is actually removable, but mine is. The chrome posts are held only by friction into both the base of the table and into the floor sockets. Once firmly worked into place, the table is amazingly steady and feels as though it is permanently installed. However, with some persistent pressure upward and careful "working" of the table from side to side, it all comes loose. The posts disconnect from both table and floor sockets. Hope this helps.

Hey Richard,
I own hull #60 and my set-up is exactly as Bob has described.
I generally remove the aft leg and stash it below the bunk,I rotate the table 90 degrees and stow a full sail bag under it for support. Makes a handy nav. station.
