It was eagerly awaited on the sailing scene. After a long construction period in Sweden, it has finally arrived: the first M32 catamaran from Marström Composites is moored in Travemünde - a world premiere on the boat market and a special kind of tourist attraction. The 17-time Travemünde Week winners and catamaran trainers Helge and Christian Sach from Zarnekau in Ostholstein will now be chasing the ten metre long and 6.50 metre wide speed machine across the Bay of Lübeck with guests. Information on this can be found on their Website.
Made entirely of carbon fibre, the M32 cat weighs just 480 kilograms. It is built at the renowned Göran Marström catamaran shipyard in Sweden. On the wind, the cat is only moved with the 53.6 square metre mainsail, similar to the smaller cats from the high-tech 18 scene. A large gennaker was set on the 17 metre high carbon mast for the downwind leg. At 59.5 square metres, it brings twice the sail area into play. Even in medium winds, the M32 should easily reach 20 knots and more.
