This year the M32 celebrates its 10th birthday. Swedish Olympic bronze medalist Göran Marström and Kåre Ljung designed the M32 in 2011 as the latest addition to an already impressive portfolio that includes the Tornado, M5 A-Class, M20 catamaran and the Extreme 40. Two years later, sailor and businessman Håkan Svensson acquired the design and production rights for Aston Harald AB, a company already intimately connected with the cutting-edge racing scene, having sponsored the Green Dragon and Puma Volvo Ocean Race teams. That same year, regattas in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland comprised the first M32 Scandinavian Series.
