From the factory, the Alberg 30 came with
a stowable table for the main saloon. This
table consists of a teak top that mounts on an
aluminum Z-shaped leg.
This leg inserts into a cast aluminum
socket in the starboard setee.

|
A pin in the leg fits into one of three slots in the
top of the socket, locking the table in the center of
the cabin, over the starboard settee (out of the way),
or halfway in between.
|
|
When not in use, the table top stows over the V-berth,
held up by a wood block on the bulkhead and a
barrel bolt mounted to the overhead. While not the
sturdiest of mounting arrangements, this has generally
proved satisfactory. Just watch your head.

On the older boats, the table stows at the forward end of the starboard settee. This solves the "head bonking" problem, but it does take up some prime bulkhead real estate. This space is often used for a cabin heater or bookcase on other boats.

South: The Endurance Expedition
Shackleton's near-fatal journey to the Antarctic has received a
lot of press in recent years. This is Shackleton's own account—quiet,
understated, and riveting. It also describes the travails of the Aurora
expedition, intended to lay the groundwork for Shackleton on the other
side of the continent.
