C.W. Hood Yachts recently launched the first truly New England inspired, fully electric center console.

The beautiful Hood 26E was conceived, designed and built right here in Marblehead. Chris Hood and chief designer David Robison set out to create a vessel that looked more like a classic yacht than a spaceship.

The carbon fiber hull and deck are rock solid yet light as a feather, and its current gray primer finish will soon be completed Awlgrip, with a handy swim platform, powder-coated rails, custom cushions and of course, dual Yeti coolers for summer excursions.

The only wood is the stylish teak console top adding classic appeal, a boat with the perfect balance of low maintenance, durability and beauty.

Her electric propulsion is silent, easily charged, and all monitored from the helm or your smart phone. Two silent electric motors drive a single duo-prop inboard / outboard drive, delivering jaw-dropping acceleration, full control around the dock, and the ability to be trimmed up out of the way at the beach.

Marblehead Harbor has been our center for testing so far, with runs to Manchester and Gloucester. Data is still being collected on speeds, range and charging times, etc., and will be available soon.

What we do know is she is fun, fast and quiet – with a top speed of 42 knots.

26' C.w. Hood 2024

The Hood 26E is a fully electric runabout with a modified vee hull and an efficient retractable outdrive for shallow waters.

We created an easily driven, comfortable and dry hull, coupled with a robust Konrad duo prop outdrive unit and two Lithium ION batteries. Her carbon fiber hull is instantly propelled to 42 knots top.

Being high-tech and electric does not mean a boat has to look like a spaceship or flying boat. We opted for a timeless, New England style that will turn heads.

She has a leaning post with storage, cooler below and full width aft bench seat. Other seating options available.

CW HOOD YACHTS

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.
