Quite early on in our build process we decided we would like to change the table on our boat. The standard 475 table probably suits most as it's huge and opens our right over the saloon so we starting talking to Oyster about something that would better suit our needs.
When we eat inside, which is rare as we like sailing in the warm, there is generally only the two of us. We also liked the idea of something that didn't take over the saloon, which we use more for lounging than eating..... So having an opening table that takes up less space, looked chunky and stylish was the solution we came up with. It has a folder out leaf in the middle and drinks storage underneath.
Oyster provided designs and a plan to show how it could fit and we took the plunge to make the change a few months ago. However, when you make a big change like that there's always a thought in your mind that says have we done the right thing....
But look we are delighted with how it looks and our project manager says he thinks it fits neatly and allows a good amount of room for people while being able to open the steps.
It's just been put in place so they can cut the floor boards today so we were not expecting to see it just yet - what a nice surprise and a perfect treat for Andrew after he just completed a 16 hour working day when he got in to see it.
The process of making the change......

| Oh wow - we liked this but no drinks storage..... |

| Not for us... |

| Ah this is what we like Andrew and John making plans on a 575 at the Southampton Boat Show 2014 |
