Plastiki is a boat made out of 12,500 recycled plastic bottles filled with air. David de Rothschild came up with the idea to build this awesome Plastiki boat. Not the entire boat is made out of plastic, but only the bottom part that it floats on.
The goal was to ride the Plastiki from San Francisco to Sydney. That is 11 miles of travel. It took them 3 years to build the boat.
To build it David de Rothschild first sketched the boat and then they 
actually build it.
