HOOD Sails Information

For 60 years HOOD Sailmakers has been the choice for sailors demanding an unmatched performance, durability and value in their sails. From modest beginnings in the basement of his house in Marblehead in the early 1950’s, Ted Hood developed not only fast, durable sails, but invented the machinery to make the cloth that he used to make these sails. In true Yankee fashion, Hood also wanted value in his purchases and so did the local sailors who were his first customers. Today, HOOD continues Ted’s tradition of designing, engineering and building sails that offer the highest value globally.
