C.W. Hood Yachts- 3 Beacon Street, Marblehead, MA 01945 – Phone: 781.631.0192
Founder Chris Hood, nephew of The late legendary Frederick E. “Ted” Hood continues on with the family legacy, in the place where it all began, “Little Harbor” Marblehead, MA. A family-style run business, where pride, unrivaled work ethics, and the Hood unwavering commitment to collective group excellence have produced some of the finest quality yachts, located in one of the most picturesque harbors this side of the Atlantic.
Known for building iconic power-cruisers, and reviving an iconic Maine Boat Building Company Jarvis Newman. Things changed on a particularly cold New England night from a quick sketch, CW Hood Yachts took a turn closer to its family’s roots with the Hood 32 classic daysailer. Eventually becoming Sail Magazine 2011 Daysailer of the Year. With a 154 D/L and with a 4.72 L/B, this true modern composite constructed classic daysailer is of moderate displacement with a very narrow beam, reminiscent, of when classic one design little yachts were constructed by the legendary yacht designers such as a Bjarne Aas, W. Starling Burgess, A.E. Luders, Sr. and Jr., and C. Raymond Hunt, the International 110’s and 210’s.
