Earlier this year i replaced our SO32's horrible heavy white plastic cockpit table with a Nautic Star Slide 340mm/580mm x 800mm: from www.marineteak.co.uk/folding--sliding-teak-tables/nautic-star-slide-60
I've just noticed that they do a 10% discount for Jeanneau owners - see the Discounts and Promotions forum - I wish I'd noticed it before I ordered.
When open the table is slightly smaller than the original item, which gives a bit more room between the table and the companionway opening. When you're not eating but want some table space then it is ideal in its closed position - it's much easier to move around the cockpit. It's also much lighter and more compact to put away down below. The edges have a small lip around them in both the open and closed positions, which is better than nothing (but could usefully be bigger) and it's reasonably grippy due to the (possibly faux) caulking so things don't slide around too easily.
I treated it with Danish Oil so it has darkened (not as dark as the pics below make it look), but I wanted it to be protected from red wine stains etc. It took a few minutes to fit - I simply unscrewed the mounting from the underside of the original table and screwed it onto the new one.
