The cabin table is shortened by approximately 14 inches. I first cut about 10 inches off the wide end of the table(using a jig saw). The wide edge of the piece I cut off was used as a template for the new table edge. In doing so, the original shape of the table was maintained.

See cup holders

Two cup holders, identical to the cup holders on the stern rails seats, were installed at the narrow end of the table. The cup holders have worked out nice. To extend the V-berth for sleeping, I again used the template to cut a filler board spanning the space between the table and the berth. It fits perfectly into the groove of the berth and rests a couple of inches over the top of the table edge. It is stored under the V-berth cushions.

See table edge

The plastic edge on the table was re-inserted after routing a new channel in the wide end of the table.The table is shown in the up position against the cabin roof. Cutting the table down has made it considerably lighter and easier to manage. It also allows for more headroom when the table is in the up position.
