Hood Sailmakers specialise in building high-performance, long-lasting sails for serious cruising yachts, classic yachts, short-handed racing and one-designs that mandate woven sailcloth. Hood are the only sailmakers who weave their own sailcloth and, for more than 50 years, Hood sailcloth has been renowned for its quality and performance. Hood polyester sailcloth is distinguished by its use of high-tenacity yarns, tight weave and a minimum of finishing.
