About her construction
We understand a yacht is a long-term investment, which is why we use only premium materials in the construction of the Heritage 36’. Its outer skin is made from Vinylester gelcoat, offering top-tier resistance to Osmosis blistering and UV damage. Hand-laminated outer layers, followed by an infusion process, ensure maximum strength and weight control. Below the waterline, the hull is crafted from closed-cell foam sandwich construction with Quadri-axial E-Glass for superior impact resistance, while Airex® high-density foam coring above the waterline provides strength and rigidity.
Construction materials are all sourced from either European or North American suppliers.
CFD Software
While most of the hulls in the Canados ranges are tank tested, every detail of the planning surfaces is analyzed for weeks using a CFD software. With the Heritage 36’, we paid particular attention to the bottom design, as the hydrodynamic finesse was essential to achieve such efficiency. In-depth CFD analysis enabled us to fine-tune the steps to obtain the best consumption to mile ratio. As well, we wanted a to optimize comfort in the chop and ease to steer even for novice boaters.
High-Tech Composites
The Heritage 36’ is constructed from E-Glass and vynilester resin with carbon fiber reinforcements. The core is made of stabilized high-density closed-cell foam, which not only absorbs vibrations but also reduces noise and vibrations. Most of the polymerization is done in infusion to insure perfect impregnation. However, some parts are still traditionally laminated by hand where vacuum lamination is not feasible.
Axis CNC Machine
Even if traditional craftsmanship is irreplaceable at every stage of your boat’s construction, it is backed up using 5-Axis numerically controlled machines. Digital precision enables us to cut bulkheads and other parts to the tightest possible tolerances. In addition to ensuring assembly quality, this is one a necessary step to control final weight.
