Maple Leaf 54 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Maple Leaf 54 stands as the flagship of the sailing division of Cooper Enterprises Inc., representing the ultimate evolution of Forbes Cooper’s vision for a robust, high-volume offshore cruiser. Designed by the prolific Canadian naval architect Stan Huntingford, the 54 was conceived to handle the demanding conditions of the Pacific Northwest while providing accommodations that rivaled much larger motoryachts of the era. Built in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, the Maple Leaf 54 is a heavy-displacement, center-cockpit cruiser that gained a reputation for being a "go-anywhere" vessel, particularly favored by those planning long-term liveaboard voyages or high-latitude circumnavigations. The model is part of a lineage that includes the Maple Leaf 42, 45, 48, and 50, with the 54 and its later 56-foot iteration utilizing the same fundamental hull lines, often extended via an integrated swim platform or modified transom.
