That was true 5 generations ago when Hodgdon
was founded, and its true today. These are the roots of the oldest American boat-builder. Whether its world class yachts, magnificent interiors, advanced composite wonders for the Navy or tenders that compliment the world’s finest superyachts, there is no denying, Hodgdon may build for the world, but we are from Maine.
