1984 Maple Leaf 56

On Deck

The fully enclosed centre cockpit is the beating heart of this vessel and where you will spend much of your time aboard. The hard top with a full canvas enclosure keeps you protected from the elements. The large, padded seating area works as an entertainment centre for friends and family and will become your favourite sea bunks on a passage.

There is easy access to the primary winches and the boat is set up to operate from the cockpit. Raising and lowering the mainsail will be the only reason to be on deck.

The captain’s chair is well positioned in the front of the cockpit with a full array of electronics. The chair can be removed at anchor and a teak table placed for more table space.

On the rear deck is the Kuma BBQ, two access hatches to a massive storage area in the lazarette and an electric winch for managing stern tie lines. There is also a large canvas sunshade covering the aft deck and a 6 man life raft (not currently certified)

The sidedecks are wide with lots of handholds. Forward is where the tender is stored on the foredeck  with its own small windlass for launching and retrieving.

The bow has a main anchor and 80 lb German-made Rocna-type anchor on 200 ft of chain. The spare is a 100lb Rocna-type anchor. The windlass is a dependable Maxwell-Nilsson V1000 with foot controls.

The Maple Leaf 56 is huge. Well thought out for offshore passages and spending time at anchor. The owner’s cabin is extremely spacious. It has a queen-sized island berth, hanging lockers galore, shelves, a desk and ensuite head with sink, toilet and large step-down shower stall.

The main salon is spacious. There is a dedicated navigation space with a complete electronics and communication station. Across is a setee that converts into a comfortable double berth.

The aft end of the main salon has a large and comfortable U-shaped seating/dining area to port with lots of storage underneath. To starboard is a serving side of the galley with plenty of counter space, storage for plates, bowls, glasses, etc. and access to a large 5 cubic foot freezer. Down a step is the cooking area of the galley with fridge, three burner propane stove with oven, large stainless steel sinks and again….lots of storage.
