Can someone please explain to me how the folding table folds down to become a double berth with the port bench seat. I cannot figure this out to save my soul, nor can I find someone who knows. Thanks

If that's in the design, then I never knew about it. The fact that there's no cushion for it tells me that it is what it is. A table. Or in this case, an opportunity for customization.

I assumed the same thing when we were looking at our boat, but nada, no, no can do. It would have been a nice thought however. Frustrating

I ask this as my friend had a 1978 Tartan 37 and his son remembers the table coming down and made into a bed and the backrests being the cushions for it. This was where he slept. But no one remembered how it went together.

Then, yesterday, I found a 1981 Tartan 37 for charter on the internet and it stated the bunks and said that the port side made into a double and a single on the starboard side, along with the V berth and the quarterbirth.

It seems like it should work somehow, but I can't figure it out. Thanks

I believe what it was in some Tartans was a piece of plywood that is under the port cushions. When you want the double it slides towards the middle and the edges rest on a 1" X 2" piece of wood on all 3 sides (below table, on front of L shape side and along length of the port settee). This wood should also have a piece on the front for support. I just made up my own double as ours did not come with it and it works great!
