I just came across this listing and it looks like Loafers boat.

Yep - that's Loafer indeed. I sure wish I had that drop-leaf table!
This can only mean that Stuart did the deal on the Beneteau Figaro he was looking at!

Sure wish ole Loafer wasnt so distant with the communication either. The last thing he said, he was going to keep both. Wish he could feel free to post his boat here as well. It's a nice example; indeed, I know he loved the "Loafer", too. I had heard he had finally gone with the Figaro Solo and was wondering how he could feasibly do both. I guess the leasing option he mentioned didnt pan out.

On the drop leaf table, this could easily be modified as it's basically the same thing as our table with the cut and hinges. With the trouble to get it off put in the equation, once could just as easily add this aspect. The other big difference is in the base support which has one arm cut off and is turned so as to allow the fold down leaf. There is an extra support arm as well. This could be done without too much headache or head scratching, in my opinion. I currently have mine with the ability to rotate at whim, another solution.

I did not realize it was listed yet. Still have not closed the Figaro yet but close. Love old Loafer and you never know I may just end up @ Jon's reggatta with new sails! IGuess I should check the sight and see what price they put on it. I am leaning towards keeping it anyway and I believe a friend will pnobably lease it. The other boat has a few issues and I don't know if I feel up to it. If I selI it I will put it on the web site. I really just want to keep it so I can still be here!
