I have an udate for you from Hood:

I was promptly contacted by a Tom Braisted from Hood Sails. He stated:

"I’m afraid we don’t have a separate canvas division anymore. We’ve moved twice since 1975 and the patterns didn’t make the last move. The cushions on a Whaler should be pretty straightforward- I’m sure any canvas shop ,local to you, could duplicate them."[/b]

In addition, he also did not know if they were the exclusive producer of the cushions back in the 70's.

Hope this helps.
