Set Sail with Nike – A Maple Leaf 48 Ready for Adventure
Meet Nike, a classic Maple Leaf 48 cruiser designed by the renowned Stan Huntingford and expertly crafted by Cooper Yachts in Canada. Delivered originally to Los Angeles, she has gracefully spent the last 50 years embracing the waters and proving her durability and charm. After extensive refits in 2008, 2015, and 2021, Nike is now a completely outfitted, ready-to-go cruiser.
Nike is Your Ideal Companion • Proven Performance: Over the last 3 years, Nike has cruised the scenic Sea of Cortez and mainland Mexico, showcasing her reliability on extended journeys. Spend 9 months of the year anchored, with minimal generator use during winters and limitless solar power from spring onward. • Electric-Only Efficiency: Leave propane refills in the past. Nike operates entirely on electric power, offering convenience and eco-friendliness. • Modern Upgrades: Equipped with new rigging, electronics, and navigation gear, she delivers confidence and ease on every voyage. • Fully Stocked: Everything you need is onboard—from hand tools and spares to fishing gear, snorkel sets, surfboards, kids’ kayaks, and even a floating pop-up dock.
Impressive Features That Set Her Apart Nike comes with 1500 watts of solar power, two air conditioners, and full Victron internals, including a powerful 5000-watt inverter capable of running three major appliances simultaneously while charging batteries. Other highlights include: • 8KW Onan Genset: Reliable backup power to support your adventures. • 40GPH CruiseRO Watermaker: Enjoy fresh water anywhere you go. • Convenient Additions: From the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink to comprehensive energy management systems, Nike ensures modern comfort at sea.
Ready for Your Journey Nike is a vessel of opportunity and inspiration, perfect for passionate cruisers looking to explore far-off destinations or local waters in style. Don’t miss the chance to own this one-of-a-kind, meticulously maintained cruiser.
