Production
The design was built by Cooper Enterprises in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, starting in 1978, but it is now out of production.

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.

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.

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.
