The objectives "L32-Gruppen" was:

"To be an International Club for the purpose of facilitating contact between L32-Owners, stimulating arrangement of local races, and encouraging interchange of experiences."

After about 2 years of production - in which about 85 boats were produced - the intiative was taken to form a L32 Club.

On 28 January 1966 the founding meeting took place in a Hotel in Malmö and the "L32-Gruppen" was founded with 70 members, mostly from Sweden, but also from Canada, Denmark, Germany and USA. ,

In the years to come the "L32-Gruppen" seemed to be concentrating its work in the area with the highest number of L32s, which was Stockholm at the early days. It was to such an extend, that the member fee was higher in Stockholm than other parts of Sweden.:

Around 1978-79 the interest and number of arrangements started to deminish and "L32-Gruppen" faded away.
