CW Hood 32
Description
CW Hood refers to C.W. Hood Yachts (also styled CW Hood Yachts), a boutique boatbuilding, design, and brokerage company based in Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA. Founded by Chris Hood (nephew of legendary sailor/sailmaker Ted Hood), the company specializes in high-end custom and semi-custom vessels, blending classic aesthetics with modern performance. Their sailboats emphasize elegant, timeless lines, lightweight construction, and excellent handling — often as premium daysailers or weekend cruisers. Their most popular and well-known sailboat is the CW Hood 32 (also called the Hood 32 Daysailer), a standout modern classic introduced around 2009–2010. It's designed in-house (with input from Chris Hood and collaborators like Ben Stoddard) as a refined, high-performance daysailer that evokes traditional beauty while delivering nimble, responsive sailing.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
