The Cooper 353 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Stan Huntingford as a cruiser and first built in 1979.[1][2][3][4]
The design was later developed into the US Yachts US 35 after Bayliner purchased the moulds for the boat.[1][2][5][6]
Production
The design was built by Cooper Enterprises in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, starting in 1979, but it is now out of production.[1][2][7][8]
Design
The Cooper 353 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It 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 13,000 lb (5,897 kg) and carries 4,700 lb (2,132 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 5.75 ft (1.75 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with an inboard engine with a saildrive for docking and manoeuvring.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee around a drop-down dinette table and a straight settee in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side.[1][2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.15 kn (13.24 km/h).[2]
