[Rhodes22-list] What is the purpose of the ledge outside of the companionway?

[Michael D. Weisner]

Michael,

Pictures from the website:

1. Cabin table used to complete cabin berth:

2. Cabin table in storage rack, without legs:

By the way, the website has this really nice section loaded with information from fellow Rhodies called 'Reference Pages' that actually addressed your initial question at 'Cockpit Shelf':
http://rhodes22.org/reference-topic.html?C|reference/Cockpit%20-%20Shelf.html

Did you know that the Rhodes 22 comes with a full manual? It was written by Stan! Check out a copy (pdf) at:
http://rhodes22.org/document.html?documents/Rhodes%2022%20Owners%20Manual%20-%202006.pdf
Take a look at page 30 (last page) for more on the table usage.

Michael,

I usually store both legs (small diameter for the cockpit door table and the larger diameter for the cockpit/cabin table) in the clips on the underside of the table, which is stored in the rack above the V-berths. I have a bungee cord that secures the table and legs in the rack, as it has fallen on to the V-berths during rough seas. No one was in the berth at the time. Now that the kids are grown and on their own, the V-berths are used for storage.

You do know that the table also fills the space in the cabin to form a bed, right?

Thanks Mike—is there a preferred spot for the table leg?
