Canados 631 Gladiator

The Gladiator 631 Next project was launched at the end of 2019 with the idea of creating the most reliable and highest performing yacht ever built, with the lowest fuel consumption per nautical mile ratio. Canados teamed up with naval architect Simone Cesati, an expert in high-tech composite construction and racing boat builder. The boat's concept focused on creating a model that: - would reach 50 knots with very conventional engines, optimizing reliability with minimal maintenance needs; - would be extremely easy to handle so that an owner could operate the boat themselves; - would redefine the day cruising boat concept with large outdoor social spaces, while offering two of the three cabins with enough comfort and luxury for long-distance cruises; - would achieve a significant top speed while being capable of cruising all day at 35 knots, consuming at least 30% less fuel than any other yacht in its category. To achieve these results, Canados’ technical department and Simone Cesati adopted truly innovative new technologies. In short, the power-to-weight ratio needed to be kept below 10 kg per horsepower. As a result, the weight of the Gladiator 631 Next does not exceed 18.5 tons, whereas all other 20-meter yachts on the market range between 24 and 26 tons. This substantial weight saving could not be obtained by reducing structural components but had to be achieved through technology, materials, and lightweight interior construction, while hydrodynamics had to be highly advanced, notably with kevlar and carbon fiber.
