The Maple Leaf 45 stands as a testament to the robust offshore cruising philosophy of the Pacific Northwest. Designed by the esteemed Canadian naval architect Stan Huntingford and built by Forbes Cooper’s Cooper Enterprises Inc., this vessel was conceived during an era when heavydisplacement hulls and centercockpit configurations were the gold standard for longrange voyaging. Emerging in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Maple Leaf 45 was an evolution of the earlier Maple Leaf 42, offering additional waterline length and increased interior volume to satisfy the demands of the "liveaboard" movement. While Cooper Enterprises was famously associated with building Catalinas under license, the Maple Leaf series represented their venture into highend, semicustom bluewater yachts capable of handling the demanding conditions of the Inside Passage and beyond.
