I know where there are models and the lines plans of the production
vessels, but they will be held commercial-in-
be available to release. Have you tried contacting INCAT and see what
they say? Unfortunately I've not been doing any work for them, so
have no contacts there (INCAT's home base is only a 2-hour drive away from me).
There are any number of 'photos of INCAT vessels floating around the
internet, but the original was far more rudimentary. I'll see if I
can find the 'photos that were sent to me and post them up somewhere.
It was unfortunate (from my point of view) that the AMC were unable
to get funding to ship the prototype down here, as it would have been
fun to work with them to do the river Murray project - we were
looking at 600VDC to 720VDC battery pack, industrial 3-phase motors
and drives (in order to swing the relevant sponsorship)
been geat fun, plus a trip that would have been a
never-to-be-
