Owning an M32 is a totally unique sailing experience

Easy to sail and assemble in just a few hours with its ‘unarig’ design and deck layout, the M32 offers all the thrills of a high speed catamaran with speeds over 25mph. With events organised around the world for amateurs and professionals, the M32 is the ideal performance catamaran for any level of sailor.

Designed by experienced Swedish sailors Göran Marström and Kåre Ljung, the M32 catamaran offers a unique blend of simplicity and ease of handling, combined with lightweight construction and thrilling performance.

Simplicity & efficiency

Unlike other high performance catamarans, the M32 has two visible and distinctive features to its design – a ‘unarig’ for simplicity and efficiency [no jib], and ‘racks’ mounted outboard of the hulls allowing the skipper and crew to sit high above the water and use their weight to contribute to the boats performance. With the racks deployed, the M32 increases its beam from 5.54m to 8.35m.

Technology and Production

Built in carbon fibre with a total weight of just 510kg, the acceleration of the M32 is immediate and can lift a hull in only five knots of wind. Stability is maintained by the forward buoyancy in the hulls and C-shaped daggerboards which create some vertical lift giving the helmsman total control and confidence in all conditions.

To further maximise the stiffness of the M32 construction; every boat is built entirely in prepreg carbon fibre (including use of high modulus fibres) and epoxy over a Nomex core. All carbon parts are vacuum bagged and cured at 120°C in a pressurized autoclave, 6-8 bars for single skin and 2-3 bars for sandwich laminates.

Better than the best

The extensive use of high quality High Modulus (HM) carbon fibers (with ~70% higher stiffness than standard carbon fibres) gives the laminates both a light weight and superior strength.

Every M32 is constructed by some of the world’s leading boat builders at the company’s own 3700sqm production facility on the island of Hönö, Sweden nearby to the City of Gothenburg.
