Renown for strong construction and proper lines, the Maple Leaf 45 is a spacious center-cockpit cruising yacht with a large open floor plan. Great stability, superb visibility and a much desired interior layout. Maple Leaf Yachts have a long history of offshore experience. The 45 continues this tradition. She is very sea friendly and easy to sail.

In 2007 the current owners (one of which is a marine engineer) were shopping around for a different boat when Wayshegoes came up for sale.

The boat was started in the late 1980’s by a fellow who was a stainless steel fabricator for the major yachts out of Vancouver. He never finished his boat and owners were able to purchase this boat as an estate sale.

The keel and rudder had been added by the previous buyer and we finished the inside and added mast and sails. As the boat was only launched in 2007 there were only 11 miles on the engine. Unfortunately it was started during the sea trials without lubricating the seals and it scored the number 4 cylinder.

So the negotiated price included the addition of a new engine, a 71 hp Westerbeke engine. Also at that time the sails were ordered and installed.

The fridge was removed and a Frigo boat set up was installed; fridge/ freezer was custom built and has served well.

In 2013 the dinghy lifting davits were built in Guaymas. All solar power has been added and a new controller for solar installed this year. The watermaker was added in La Paz when they journeyed south in 2013.

This year 2022, a new salt water pump, heat exchanger, diesel transfer pump, inverter/ charger, were changed. Regular maintenance was done in Mazatlan before bringing the boat back up to Guaymas.

There are spare parts on board, including a complete spare autopilot. The cockpit cushions were designed and added this year as well in Mazatlan.

Owners left BC in 2011 and have been offshore including a Panama transit to Caribbean side, exploring for three years. They have returned to Mexico to explore the sea and put our boat on the market for health reasons.
