Since a folding cockpit table costs from 300-400 euros I have decided to install my own. Costs were 70euros for the wood (that made 2 tables), 30euros for the brackets, 20euros for the hinges, 40euros for the carpenter. Total 160euros and a spare table. Here is how it turned out.      |

Very nice and very well done. I purchased the standard table and am very unhappy. The molding around the edge keeps coming out and the latching hardware broke my first season out. I am waiting for some spare time to do the same as yours. Really looks great.

Looks very professional, could I ask where you purchased the brackets as have a 325 and we are considering doing the same as you. Thanks Paul ------------- Hanse 325 'One Life' |

| I found the brackets at a local chandlery in Athens Greece. I think they work with LALIZAS so maybe its from this catalog. I will know how sturdy they are after some time but so far so good. |

@ Paul - Nilandhoo Regarding the brackets, take a look here: http://www.rocaindustry.com/marine/Cat/Support/177/" rel="nofollow - http://www.rocaindustry.com/marine/Cat/Support/177/ I think ROCA has representatives in most countries.

Johnyred, I was going to make my own table and bought four pieces of teak 900x200x20mm. Unfortunately the teak "bends" doesn't stay straight and I can not use this material for my table. What kind of wood did you use for your table? Could be that our different climate influences teak differently?!?! Regards Morgan

Hi Morgan, I dont think that a 20mm thick teak plank would bend. Teak is one of the hardest woods. Are you sure you have bought real teak? Also 900mm is too long. 700mm is the longest you can use in order not to interfere, with the cockpit when closed and the handrails when open and unfolding the two half's. Regards |

Excuse my ignorance (just started looking at Hanse 325 - looks great), but where is the main sheet gone? Will you need an upright at the end of the table - looks like one could be added easily if you wanted. Thanks

Your table looks great. How has it fared in its first year at sea? Are the brackets strong enough, or do you think it needs a folding leg to provide additional support. I'm looking to get something like this for our 350, and am waiting for a quote from our man in Croatia. As a alternative, there are ready made ones by KJ Howells in the UK. For instance, one measuring 760mm long by 710mm wide when open would cost just over £200 or €240. ------------- Denis Bosun, Evolution Hanse 350 #7, SY Evolution, standard keel, 3YM20 sail drive, 3 cabins, cherry wood interior, teak decks, feathering prop |

Hi Lyden Sorry for my late reply The table has fared very well after two years of charting. Of course its not strong enough to hold all a mans weight but for normal use its strong enough. Considering the size you should take notice to clear the cockpit floor when fully folded. Also when raised the two halves should clear the grab rails of the console. |

Thanks for the response - very useful. How wide is the table when folded? ------------- Denis Bosun, Evolution Hanse 350 #7, SY Evolution, standard keel, 3YM20 sail drive, 3 cabins, cherry wood interior, teak decks, feathering prop |

We have got a traveller on our H320. Does anyone have experience with such a foldable table and a traveller? The question is if the main sheet will run clear of the table or of you got in trouble with robes around the table.  Jan ------------- Hanse 320 #548 "SCHNEGGE" |
