A beauty!

 Ask Dan Pfeiffer who sold it to me. Could it have been 15 years ago, Dan?  It is in the same condition now as it was when I received it because the "box was never opened", essentially. When I get around to advertising it, I am going to look for $400 from a stranger. You couldn't make it for five times that amount, but if you don't need it, it's not worth anything to you. I get it.

A little background will help:

My Pearson 36 had a very nice (impressive actually) double drop leaf formica and mahogany table mounted just off center line to port to allow for easy passage from the slightly offset companionway (offset to starboard) travelling to the forward cabin. I acquired the 10 M table to free up main cabin space as it was bulkhead mounted. 

Time passed my ideas changed and instead of mounting the table on the bulkhead, which would have involved removal of the Chelsea clock and barometer, Hygrometer and the Taylors cabin heater, I removed the original P36 table and stored if for my next life when I would have 5 other comrades sit with me at the big table in the cabin, exchange yarns while feasting on gruel.

$200. You pay shipping, please.

ps. I might have a photo on an old floppy disk, but don't count on that. An example must be available somewhere. I just don't know where to look.

I prefer the space in Skylark's cabin with no table, but that makes feeding the crew a bit risky.

I did have to add short steel legs to the bottom of the short table support as the table was a bit wobbly at the forward end and once when Skylark had a knockdown, a crew member fell on the side of the table and it shattered on one end. The repair to the table was easy and the table is much more stable now.
