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.
One day Chris Hood received a call from someone wanting to give him a drafting table, with no need for another table, Chris politely declined. Then the caller asked “are you the last of the Hood’s living in Marblehead”, Chris replied yes I am, with that the caller said you may be interested to know that this drafting table once belonged to L. Francis Herreshoff, and I am one of the heirs and would like you to have this drafting table. Needless to say the future looks bright from the drawing boards of CW Hood Yachts.
Want to thank everyone at CW Hood Yachts for all of there support during the Corinthian Classic Regatta. Without your efforts our campaign would not of been possible
