What We Do
Verity offers a unique set of services to the yachting industry. Historically, the boating industry has placed little emphasis on quality documentation, instead focusing its efforts on building high quality vessels. However, as boat systems become more and more complex, the need for high quality documentation increases. The boating industry is unique among high-end construction services, with most of the design and engineering is based on construction experience, rather than design drawings.
As a boat owner or boat builder, your expertise is in construction and operation of your boat. Verity can travel to your location and document your boat for you, transforming your experiential knowledge into a world-class manual.

Information Capture
Often the most valuable information about a boat is never written down, never documented, never captured. At Verity, we believe that the most important parts of your boat's construction are those things which are not documented in vendor OEM manuals, (such as custom installs, equipment hiding in small hatches, and maintenance requirements specific to your boat).
Information Development
During the course of the information capture phase of a project, it often becomes apparent where information is lacking. We work with our clients to "fill in the holes" of essential information.
Information Organization and Presentation
Having complete information does not ensure strategic use of that information. Information must be organized in a way that is consistent with the end users needs. Whether your desired output is a hard-copy manual, an on-screen PDF, or an E-book for a handheld device, we will present your manual in the way that most effectively meets your needs. In addition, we can make your manual as attractive as your yacht's interior. Your manual will not only be a extremely thorough, useful document, but will be beautiful enough to also function as a salon book.
Information Access
Information can be captured, developed, and organized, but it must also be accessible to be useful. Our manuals are searchable by keyword, and come with complete Tables of Contents. Included in the price of each manual is training on how to navigate the document and find the information you need.
