[Rhodes22-list] What is the purpose of the ledge outside of the companionway?

[Michael McKay]

Thanks again Mike.  I’m not aware that my table case clips for the legs—I’ll have to check. 

And yes, I am aware of the dual purposes for the tabletop. I currently sail on a lake, so rough seas aren’t an issue, but I’m hoping to do some trailering so I’ll make sure the table is secured—thanks for the tips.

I have a bungee cord that secures the table and legs in the rack, as it has fallen on to the V-berths during rough seas. No one was in the berth at the time. Now that the kids are grown and on their own, the V-berths are used for storage.
