The M32 (formerly the Marstsrom 32) is a class of sailing catamaran designed by Göran Marström and Kåre Ljung^[1] and first built in 2010 by Marstrom Composite AB.^[2] The design and production rights were sold in 2013 to Aston Harald Composite AB led by Håkan Svensson and run by Killian Bushe.^[3]

Design

The M32 is a lightweight, all-carbon, high-performance, one-design multihull. Each of the two hulls - constructed of carbon fiber over a Nomex core - weighs 82 kg (181 lb) and features increased forward buoyancy to reduce nose-diving. The boat weighs 510 kg (1,124 lb) overall and carries a sail area of 52 m² (560 sq ft) resulting in a very high sail area to weight ratio.^[3]

The sail plan includes only a high aspect ratio, fully battened mainsail for upwind sailing combined with a furling gennaker for downwind sailing.
