    A real man makes a boat/raft out of toilet paper rolls, toothpicks, and plastic forks. And the sail out of scabs and dynamite.

    no big deal. they already got complete islands made out of trash plastic bottles. a boat would be a piece of cake.

    @JohnDeere: How about a recycled bottle boat with a Slurpee machine? That would be a truly remarkable feat of engineering.

    Won't all that PET get all distended being pressurized and exposed to the raw/reflected UV/direct sunlight/heat? Perhaps as a publicity stunt, they could navigate to the twice the size of Texas plastic island that doesn't exist.

    I like how the reflection in the rendering is unaffected by the waves.

    @Gann: They can design a boat, but they can't Photoshop. Don't go telling me my business!

    @Gann:


    That's not a reflection. It's the keel. They made it identical to the topside, for when that thing flips, kinda like those VW Beetles with two front halfs welded together.

    @nicklar: Wow, they even put the masts and cabin on both sides, so when it capsizes in a storm you just keep on sailing. Brilliant.

    That's nothing, I once made a boat in the 3rd grade with a milk carton, a straw and a piece of paper. I was able to recycle 99% of it and I ated the rest.
