1976 Custom Maple Leaf 42

A fine example of the offshore capable Maple Leaf 42, designed by Stan Huntingford, Soul Catcher has been up and down the coast twice on separate voyages to Mexico and Costa Rica. She’s also a perfect vessel for exploring the Salish Sea with her protected center cockpit. She also makes a comfortable live-aboard.

The forward stateroom features two cross-layered 6 foot bunks, 2 hanging lockers, 3 drawers, and an enclosed head with sink and shower. The main salon is truly spacious with a sofa that pulls out to a double berth, the galley aft to port sporting a new Dickinson 3 burner gimbaled stove and double stainless steel sink. The ladder at center leads up to the cockpit and a companionway to starboard leads aft past a chart table with additional refrigeration below and the engine room (with workbench and vice) to port. Continuing aft, we find the comfortable aft stateroom with sink, head, a settee, desk and a queen size berth.

The functional cockpit has hydraulic wheel steering with Simrad autopilot linked to a B&G Zeus 7 chart plotter, 4G radar, wind instruments and sonar hub. There is a fold down table and weve enjoyed many nights sleeping in the cockpit! The decks are very easy to move around on and are surrounded by double Amsteel lifelines. At the base of the mast are sturdy safety pulpits to port and starboard with deck boxes below. The mainsail and 130% roller furled genoa are in good shape and ready for cruising. There is an optional staysail to hoist for a cutter rig. At the bow is an SL555 manual anchor windlass and a CQR plow anchor. I don’t recall the lengths, but there is ample chain and anchor rode.
