Cooper 416

Built by Cooper Yachts of Canada starting in 1978, this Stan Huntingford-designed 41-footer represents solid Canadian craftsmanship from an era when fiberglass construction was reaching maturity. The Cooper 416's substantial 24,000-pound displacement and moderate fin keel with skeg-hung rudder configuration create a seaworthy platform well-suited for coastal cruising and offshore passages. With a masthead sloop rig carrying 723 square feet of sail area, the boat offers respectable performance while maintaining the stability and comfort that made Cooper Yachts popular among serious cruising sailors. The generous beam of 14 feet provides excellent interior volume and contributes to the boat's stability, while the 6.58-foot draft ensures good windward ability without limiting access to most harbors. The comfort ratio of 31.36 indicates a motion that favors seaworthiness over speed, making long passages more comfortable for crew. Combined with a favorable capsize screening value of 1.95, these characteristics point to a boat designed with blue-water capability in mind. The substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio and robust construction reflect the builder's focus on creating dependable cruising vessels rather than racing machines, appealing to sailors prioritizing safety and comfort over pure performance.
