Plastiki - The Plastiki is a distinctive, one-of-a-kind catamaran made out of 12,500 reclaimed plastic bottles and other recycled PET plastic and waste products. The craft was built using solar panels, wind and trailing propeller turbines, and bicycle generators. On March 20, 2010, the sailing vessel set off from San Francisco, California with a six-man crew, including David de Rothschild, to sail across the Pacific Ocean.
