With effortless handling at 40–50 knots, the Veitch 27 offers an optimal blend of performance, safety, and pure enjoyment.

The Veitch 27 commands attention both at the ramp and on the water.

HANDLING

Handling is also fine-tuned with twin ballast tanks in the keel: 240L aft, 210L forward. Two Jabsco pumps push 54L a minute. “It gives you the ability to change the characteristics of the ride in different conditions,” Roger says. “You can make it ride how you want.”

TRANSOM

As a large modern game boat, the Veitch 27 has been designed to go backwards in a hurry — for chasing game fish. The transom features a step akin to a swim-end on a barge. It’s integrated as one piece with big round corners.

HELM

Roger wanted a big dash with no digital displays in front of the windscreen. It was really important to start using all the latest technology and get glass bridges in the boat without it being in the way when you’re actually trying to see to drive the thing.

CABIN

Roger says the cabin is a design feature. “It was really important to make the inside of the cab as spacious as possible. The oven-baked ceramic glass, attaches directly to the hardtop without the need for aluminium frames.”

GAME-FISHING

Roger tapped some of the local gun fishos on the shoulder and included some clever game-fishing touches in the cabin. Behind the driver’s seat there’s a fridge, sink and chopping board. It is also somewhere you can rig baits in bad weather.

ACCESSIBILITY

There’s great accessibility to the cockpit for getting on and off the boat and bringing in big fish. A big dive door on the starboard side and a transom door give you a lot of flexibility to take a leak and move stuff on and off the boat.
