The Cooper 353 is a quintessential Pacific Northwest cruiser, designed by the prolific naval architect Stan Huntingford and built by Forbes Cooper’s Cooper Enterprises Inc. in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Introduced in 1979, the 353 represented a transition in the builder’s portfolio from producing licensed designs like the Catalina 27 to creating bespoke, high-volume pilothouse yachts tailored for the rugged, temperate waters of the Canadian coast. It is fundamentally a monohull cruiser that balances the sheltered lifestyle of a motorsailer with the legitimate hull form of a performance-oriented sailing yacht. The model's lineage is closely tied to its sibling models; the hull molds were famously utilized by Bayliner’s US Yachts division to produce the US 35, and the design shares DNA with the larger Cooper 416 and the smaller 316 and 343 variants.
