The Laurin 32, often referred to as the L32 or Laurin Koster, stands as a hallmark of Scandinavian naval architecture. Designed by the prolific Arvid Laurin, this doubleended cruiser is an evolution of the traditional Swedish "Koster" boat, adapted for modern materials and offshore capabilities. Most examples were constructed in glassreinforced plastic (GRP) beginning in the mid1960s, primarily at the Malmö Flygindustri and later by other Swedish yards. The design is characterized by its powerful, highvolume hull and a distinctive pointed stern that allows it to part following seas with grace. While the Laurin 32 is smaller than its larger sibling, the Laurin 38, it maintains the same design philosophy of absolute seaworthiness and a "workboat" aesthetic that has made it a favorite among longdistance bluewater cruisers.
