'Veritas' is a Robert Ives 29 river patrol boat built in 1975 for the Environment Agency/Thames Conservancy. She has been fully restored and upgraded to a high specification. A stunning boat, lovingly maintained and upgraded with top spec equipment. Tough and versatile, would make a fantastic family boat, charter boat, party / event boat, or an (exceptionally smart) working / ?shing boat. Also very accessible for people with mobility issues - step on board using the ?at non-slip deck area at the centre of the boat, at the same level as the land, and then use the steps to gently enter the rear seating area. Plenty of rails and hand-holds. A stunning boat, lovingly maintained and upgraded with top spec equipment ready for use on the Thames, Broads or coastal cruising.
