Can anyone advise what the standard cockpit table (H470e) is made of? Mine is a smokey colour and slightly opaque plastic about 8mm and is perhaps polycarbonate or acrylic maybe? Would like to make a bigger version but based on the same material, or something else suitable.
Thanks.

I have seen this table material on my neighbours boat. From touch and sound ( when you put a beer can down ) I assume it is Polycarbonate ( PC). The best way would be to remove one half of the table and pay a visit to your local acrylic shop ( lighting ) . They will know the material and the exact spec. |

I think it is Makrolon it is more rigid than plexiglas en more crash resitant

Whether it is PC or PMMA (Acrylic) make sure that they use a UV resistant grade (either coated or insitu )

Thanks all. Appreciated.
Trying to figure out how to make it larger, lower, stronger (the frame that is) and to support a grab handle forwards. A not great piece of design in my humble opinion....

Hi
I ordered a bigger one from W&S and made an extension. Works fine. |

Looks great.
Who are W&S and did you find out what it is made of? How does the extension stay there? Impressive! |

Hi
Wendel & Rados in Greifswald near Hanse Yachts, but now I recall it was actually Yachtwerft delivering the material. The extension rest on the stainless steel box för the GB40 and is fixed by 2 wing nuts. I dont know what material they used. Perhaps Acrylic or acetal, easy to drill or round the corners. You perhaps find one on https://www.sheetplastics.co.uk/
