CNRC NASAI was founded at the beginning of the 90's with the aim of working with fibreglass
reinforced polyester or composite in sports and racing vessels (sail and motor).
|
|
During the early years, the immense possibilities of this material, along with assistance
and grants from the government and the European Community contributed greatly to the renovation
of the professional fishing fleet. So much so, that many companies increased the length of
their vessels, from in many cases 10 metres to 27 metres.

The material we use, plus studies and technological advances have led to the
main features of our boats being:
|
|
|
- Greater velocity because of the reduction in weight due to the use of the composite
or fibreglass reinforced polyester structures, as well as the application of improved studies
on the keels of the vessels, the optimisation of the propellers and the choice of more powerful
engines.
- Greater workspace, increase in length and beam, due to the reduction in weight of
the structures (using composite leads to a 15-20% reduction in weight).
- Greater stability because all the superstructures are lighter.
- Greater security at sea because the outside work decks are covered with a canopy.
- Greater absorption of blows from the sea: the composite reacts in manner to steel,
but it is much more flexible, and is thus better able to absorb the effect of waves.
- Less annual maintenance: The absence of hinges and holes for screws means that annual
caulking and replacement of screws are not necessary. Fibreglass reinforced polyester does not
rust; the periods between repainting are far longer.
