ABOUT ITS CONSTRUCTION
Heritage construction follows an uncompromising approach: strength, weight control, and reliability.
Every material and process is chosen with one clear goal: deliver a solid, rigid platform that preserves its qualities year after year.
The outer skin is finished with vinylester gelcoat, recognized for strong resistance to osmosis and UV—an essential choice to protect hull integrity and finish quality, even under intensive use.
And remember, any of our model can be painted to custom formulated colors.
The first two fiberglass layers are hand-laminated to ensure meticulous control in critical zones. Successive layers are then infused, ensuring:
- perfect resin impregnation;
- optimal structural strength;
- rigorous weight control—key to performance and efficiency.
Below the waterline, the hull adopts a sandwich structure with closed-cell high-density PVC foam core between quad-axial fiberglass skins. All stringers and frames are carbon reinforced.
This architecture maximizes impact resistance and increases structural stiffness.
Above the waterline, the laminate is also sandwich-built, combining E-Glass fibers with high-density foam cores such as Airex® or Divinycell®.
CFD Software
While most Canados hulls are traditionally validated in a tank testing facility, the Heritage 36’ also benefited from an additional, extremely precise workflow: for weeks, every detail of the planning surfaces was analyzed and optimized through CFD software.
Hull slenderness is a decisive parameter for superior efficiency. On this architecture, a few millimeters, an angle, a surface transition can change everything—stability, efficiency, comfort.
These in-depth CFD analyses allowed us to refine the architecture with scientific rigor, until we achieved the best possible balance between performance and economy.
The result shows in a clear, measurable indicator: an optimized liters-per-mile ratio—so you can run farther, freer, with total control of fuel burn.
High-Tech Composites
Heritage Power Cats are built in E-Glass and vinylester resin, with carbon-fiber reinforcements—an excellent balance of structural strength, longevity, and controlled weight.
Cores are made of stabilized high-density closed-cell foam.
Beyond mechanical properties, this technology helps absorb vibration and reduce parasitic noise—for a quieter, more “true-yachting” ride.
Most curing is achieved through infusion to ensure uniform impregnation and rigorous mass control.
Certain parts are still hand-laminated where vacuum bagging isn’t feasible—an intentional technical choice, ensuring the highest quality zone by zone.
5-AXIS CNC MACHINING
Craftsmanship is now reinforced by industrial precision.
Traditional hands remain irreplaceable at every stage of building your Heritage—but they are supported by an additional standard: 5-axis CNC machining.
This precision cuts bulkheads and components to extremely tight tolerances, ensuring:
- superior assembly quality;
- perfect repeatability;
- direct contribution to weight control.
The result: a more precise, more consistent build—and a level of finish you feel, for years.
