More info on the M32.

The boat will have water ballast to improve upwind speed and to prevent the boat from capsizing when it is moored. The sail area is roughly 55 m2 + mast area and it will start to fly a hull in the same windrange as the M20. The price will be roughly 100 000 Euros, that is 1/3 of the price of a Vx40 (reducing weight, size and complexity of a boat reduces the price a lot).

One of the reasons for Uni rigg is to keep the cost down and have a "clean" boat. The boat reminds of a scaled up M20 and that means that the number of fittings and manufacturing steps will be similar to the M20 (but you need more carbon).
