An 18^th century mariner like James Cook would soon feel at home with most aspects of a modern yacht, but when it comes to communications and navigation, even 20^th century sailors would be baffled, so rapid is the development.

One of the many challenges for Austin Design (Marine) Pty Ltd and Olectric Systems Pty Ltd is to provide all the benefits of these cutting edge technologies whilst meeting the special requirements of each individual project with custom design.  A unique challenge for both companies was the world’s first solar and wind powered ferry.

• Electrical Systems Design and Calculations
