The ultimate eco-statement: Turn 7,850,000 plastic soda bottles (that is a guess) - into a sailing catamaran and take the thing from California across the Pacific to Australia. De Rothschild hopes his one-of-a-kind vessel, now being built on a San Francisco pier, will boost recycling of plastic bottles, which he says are a symbol of global waste.What grabs our attention about this ketch rigged cat are the splayed twin-headstay furlers on each mast and interesting crossbeam arrangements. Something that James Wharram could have dreamed up? Plastiki might not be a beauty - but hats off to a gutsy statement !
