About the MAPLE LEAF 45
The Maple Leaf 45 is a Canadian-built cruising sloop designed by Stan Huntingford and constructed by Copper Enterprises in 1985. With a production run limited to a single year and an unknown total hull count, this vessel represents a specific era of Canadian boatbuilding characterized by robust, traditional designs.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable passage-making vessel, given its high comfort ratio of 31.91 and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 15.13.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 27700.0 lb and a low capsize ratio of 1.85, the Maple Leaf 45 exhibits strong offshore stability and seaworthiness suitable for bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other late-1980s Canadian designs such as the Vancouver 45 or similar Stan Huntingford designs, as they share the era's emphasis on heavy displacement and traditional aesthetics.
