Plastiki is a boat made out of twelve thousand five hundred recycled plastic bottles. Plastiki is also made of new technology that hasn't been tested at sea yet. Inside the cabin of Plastiki there is technology for modern sailing. There are also many other things that make Plastiki more complicated. The person who thought of the idea about plastiki is David de Rothschild. It took more than 3 years to finish making plastiki from a drawing board to the boat that it is now. The bottom part of Plastiki is very primitive but he upper part is modern.David wants to show the world that this boat really works so he and his crew will sail across the Pacific Ocean. Starting from San Francisco, California to Sydney, Australia. He made Plastiki to show other people about plastic waste. David doesn't really care if they make it to Sydney or not because he has already shown awareness about plastic waste. There are 6 crew members including David. They will cross the Pacific Ocean hoping that Plastiki will keep them afloat.
