The '''M32''' (formerly the '''Marstsrom 32''') is a class of sailing catamaran designed by Göran Marström and Kåre Ljung<ref name="M32 ICA" /> and first built in 2010 by Marstrom Composite AB.<ref name="Sheahan" /> The design and production rights were sold in 2013 to Aston Harald Composite AB led by Håkan Svensson and run by Killian Bushe.<ref name="Heppell" /> <!-- ==Production== -->
==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 {{convert|82|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} and features increased forward buoyancy to reduce nose-diving. The boat weighs {{convert|510|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} overall and carries a sail area of {{convert|52|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} resulting in a very high sail area to weight ratio.<ref name="Heppell" />
The sail plan includes only a high aspect ratio, fully battened mainsail for upwind sailing combined with a furling gennaker for downwind sailing. <!-- ==Operational history== -->
