Saloon Table conversion

   On my 2007 Hanse 400e a minor irritation has been that the saloon table will not go down to the level of the saloon seats. This meant that this space couldn't be used as a double bed and indeed as a single bed the table made for a hard ridge and restricted the size of the Starboard saloon berth. The problem was the pedestal was a 2 Piece telescopic fitting with restricted ability to be lowered. I sourced and eventually found a 3-stage fitting made by Zwaardvis in Denmark. The cost was some 630 euros so not exactly inexpensive , though I hope to sell the old one on ebay!  The pedestal is very substantial with a larger base plate. I managed to get 4 fixings to the saloon floor with M6 bolts and penny washers and 2 fixings with standard self tapping screws. The table is now much more rigid and the table lowers to the bench height. The 2 cushions in the middle section of the starboard bench then cover the table to make a very comfortable double bed. The table doesnt quite fill the gap so I might make a saloon table that fills the space. Has anyone replaced their saloon table?.
