How is dinette installed on W32?

     Our recently purchased W32 has the port side dinette. The table top converts to berth and top has chessboard made into it.. Sadly, the hatch over the table had been leaking for some time and the table top is rotted. Someone had cut the support leg in two for who knows what reason. My question is: I have the factory build manual, but it only shows the dimensions of the top and support leg. What I need is a diagram, description, or photos of how to assemble the table. Since it's going to be rebuilt completely, I have some ideas how to make it work but would like to stick to the original design if possible.

    Thanks for any help.

    Alan: 

    The attached image isn't what you asked for but about all I have available.  I'll need to take better pic's my next trip to the boat. 

    As far as assembly - the table on Pygmalion is a formica over plywood, with teak fiddles (I think they are called) around the edges.  Pygmalion has a drawer for silverware that pulls out and the leg flips up and is secured to the underside of the table.  The port side of the table has a clasp and hook arrangement. 

    I've always found the dinette arrangement takes a lot of space and isn't a comfortable place to sit.

    I like the arrangement on Tarwathie (Dick Mills) - as seen below.

    Thanks Jay!  You're description is just like mine. I have kinda worked out the majority of the construction, but if you could send a photo of the latching mechanism for the folding leg, I would be most appreciative.

    I hope to get to the boat soon and I'll get some pics.
