Seller's Description

Mola Mola is the perfect sailboat for cruising the Pacific Northwest and beyond. You will be amazed at how this modest 41 sailboat feels just as spacious as most larger sailboats in the 50 range due in part to her 14 beam. Molas large pilothouse windows offer an excellent view with loads of natural light coming in. In addition, she has six large opening hatches to let in fresh air along with all the sunlight. Her enormous interior space makes this boat feel roomier than any other sailboats in her size range. Dual indoor/outdoor steering stations make year-round cruising much more comfortable in our PNW climate. Mola Mola also makes a wonderful liveaboard if you prefer to spend your time at the dock. She is the perfect mix of comfortable accommodations and sailing performance. Our family has enjoyed many years of sailing her up and down the Pacific coast and exploring the Puget Sound and adjacent waters such as the San Juan Islands, Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, and surrounding Canadian waters. This boat is currently located at an upscale marina in Portland, OR with many amenities.

This boat is a 1980 Cooper 416 that has been exceptionally well maintained with interior updates. She is a Stan Huntingford design with a lead, long chord fin keel with a full skeg hung rudder. Her layout includes two private staterooms, one for and one aft. A large head with Vacuflush toilet and shower with BATHTUB! The salon has both a wraparound dining area that can be converted into another berth for sleeping, and separate couch/sea berth seating area. The galley is just a step up into the pilot house with excellent visibility of both outside, and the large salon seating area to continue visiting with guests while preparing meals. To allow for comfortable year-round cruising Mola has been equipped with a Webasto forced air furnace and full canvas dodger cockpit enclosure. She also has baseboard heating for use while connected to shore power.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.9 kn
Classic: 7.64 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

7.9 knots
Classic formula: 7.64 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
13.9
<16: under powered

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
13.9
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
43.8
>40: stiffer, more powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

43.75
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
311.7
275-350: heavy

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
311.73
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
31.1
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
31.08
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.94
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Molds were later acquired by Bayliner/US Yachts where it became the US 42.
