The design was developed into the US Yachts US 42 in 1982 when the moulds were sold to Bayliner.^[1][2][5][6]

Production

The design was built by Cooper Enterprises in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, starting in 1978, but it is now out of production.^[1][2][7][8]

Design

The Cooper 416 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. The design goals included comfortable accommodations and good sailing qualities.^[1][2][9]

The boat has a masthead sloop rig; a raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 24,000 lb (10,886 kg) and carries 10,500 lb (4,763 kg) of lead ballast.^[1][2][9]

The boat has a draft of 6.58 ft (2.01 m) with the standard keel.^[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-108 FWC diesel engine of 48 hp (36 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 100 U.S. gallons (380 L; 83 imp gal) of diesel fuel and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 150 U.S. gallons (570 L; 120 imp gal).^[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for eight people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side and a single quarter berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side amidships. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a four-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side and includes a shower.^[1][2]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.^[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 7.64 kn (14.15 km/h).^[2]
