N32 ASSOCIATION The N32 Association provides a wealth of experience and information to all. Due to the N32's seaworthiness they have ended up all over the world, and as such the association operates on a global scale. The association acts as a virtual club connected by a members' website and email list. However, regular meets and an annual dinner are also organised for members to meet and share stories, ideas and advice; along with a little bit of class racing. The Association also has a fully digitised range of original drawings available to members.
