in common with quite a few old boats, my Sadler 25 has a saloon table which drops down to form an infill between the seats to provide a double berth.
Used in the table position, there are 2 sets of a pair of plastic (nylon?) fittings, each pair includes one part attached to the hull side and one part attached to the outboard corner of the table. The inboard edge of the table has a support leg which attached to the sole. Fairly straightforward. The 2 table fixings attach to the 2 hull fittings.
Mine are so worn out they don’t perform as they were obviously designed to do and the table collapses at the merest touch!
I don’t know if the fitting are specific to Sadler 25’s.? Does anyone recognise a source for them or can anyone suggest another solution to maintain the dual functionality of the table/bed?
Pictures 1, 3 & 4 are the remains of the worn out hull side fittings, picture 2 is the corner fitting attached to the table, picture 5 is the table as it should be connected in use but is actually almost unsupported due to the wear in the fittings - touch it and it’ll collapse.
