About the COOPER 416
Molds were later acquired by Bayliner/US Yachts where it became the US 42.
The Cooper 416 is a substantial cruising sloop designed by Stan Huntingford and built by Cooper Yachts Ltd. in Canada, with production records indicating a build year of 1978. This heavy-displacement vessel, weighing 24000.0 lb with a 10500.0 lb ballast ratio, is characterized by its robust construction and traditional layout, though the exact total hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize stability and comfort over speed, particularly those seeking a solid platform for long-term liveaboard or bluewater passage-making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a high displacement-to-length ratio of 312.11 and a low capsize ratio of 1.95, the Cooper 416 is well-suited for offshore passages, offering excellent motion comfort and stability in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 41 and the Tartan 41, as they share similar heavy displacement, fin keel configurations, and a reputation for sturdy, conservative cruising performance from the late 1970s.
