Comments:	Tombie of Mauritius is a good example of the early V32 type of Blue Water / Offshore Cruiser. These boats are very well respected in cruising circles and are much sought after, by those ‘in the know’. Tombie is a sound boat in every respect, and nothing of consequence will be found when she is surveyed. The work we have completed has been done while we were on board, ashore. Following purchase of Tombie in 2001 the following improvements have been made: 2002 - new standing rigging, 2003 - complete osmosis treatment, 2003 - new Mainsail, 2003 - new Yankee. 2003 - new Genoa, 2004 - new Furlex gear to Staysail, 2003 - 2 new Water Tanks, new Sea water strainer, 2003 -complete new Vetus exhaust system, 2009 - new Water Injection Bend to engine, 2003 -new Skin fittings and Seacocks.
