IS HOOD OUT OF BUSSINESS?

[Jim Anzalone]

I have a 1992 hunter 28 with a hood 810. I read they may have a upgrade deal on line, but I think they are out of bussiness! Anyone know?

I upgraded my furler

I ordered from Pompanette (see previous post) the upgrade for my LD910 (line drive) to the SL910 (single line) so I could reef my headsail. You just replace the drum and use the same extrusions. Not cheap, but way less expensive than replacing the entire unit with a Harken or Schaefer. So far, so good!Trevor

Ted Hood

In fact Mr Ted Hood was a specially-invited guest of HRH Prince Phillip during the 150th anniversay celebration of the America's Cup at Cowes this past August. 'Brown-thread Ted of Marblehead' is indeed alive and well, and so are his boats.JC 2

As a matter of fact, also...

...Ted is trying to get permits to build the largest marina up here on Narragansett Bay. Just a short distance from his complex where he build his boats.
