The Cooper 508 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Stan Huntingford as a cruiser and first built in 1981.
It has a masthead sloop rig with double spreaders, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel in a centre-mounted wheelhouse and a fixed fin keel.
[1][2] The boat is fitted with a Lehman diesel engine of 85 hp (63 kW) for docking and manoeuvring.
Designed by Stan Huntingford, she has a large raised deckhouse, beneath which is the engine, generator and other gear.
The flush deck forward adds considerable volume to the interior, which could sleep a tribe of voyagers ... All the Cooper yachts have a bit of a different look to them, tailored as they are to the climatic conditions in which they are built.
