I looked at the original Swallowboats BayRaider bed insert which doubles as a table, whether I could copy that. I soon decided I couldn\\\'t, it\\\'s too clever.
So I improvised a bit.
1. To build a bed insert is simple enough, just a piece of plywood. Cut in two, with hinges underneath, so it folds.
2. Then I found this little folding teakwood table in the house, \\\'handbag\\\' design. I made some cutouts to the legs.
3. Thus, that table now \\\'rides\\\' on the Centreboard case top.
4. For a larger tabletop, I can put the bed insert on top of it.
5. When not in use, it all fits nicely into the stowage compartment.

Hi David,
the original size ply used by the yard is 18 mm. I used 15 mm because I had that lying around idle. 15 is good enough but 18 would be perfect. I used a raw piece of 710 x 835 mm (LxW) to make my beds 1,900 mm long, but the dimensions may be different for a wooden BayRaider.
Then you need two 180 degree hinges for folding the thing and two short 8 mm wooden plugs which are to engage with that railing so the thing does not slide aft while you sleep on it.
I painted two coats of Sadolin with one topcoat of Cetol Marine.
Good luck.
