Cabin fitout
Table-mate 2 - a perfect fit portable table for trailer sailers easy to erect and fits the Investigator perfectly. I use it in the cabin and cockpit and is easily stowed. I have mine sitting on the porta potti with the legs either side.
generally available on net also NSW dynamic distribution group - around $20
