I Made A Boat Out of Water Bottles

Check out TeamSeas! -- teamseas.org
Hello and welcome to my channel! If you're new here, I'm Jack Wood and I like to make stuff. This video is quite different compared to my other posts. I ultimately built a sailboat, a trimaran, completely out of plastic water bottles in temps of raising attention towards ocean pollution.
This is also my video submission for Casey for JOBY video contest. #contest

Big thanks to Sean for helping me film.

After packing tape, you could have wrapped it with the wide plastic wrap used to wrap stuff stacked on pallets.

I know what you mean. I have some more water bottles so I might try your idea. Thanks!
The quality of the videos have definitely improved. Loved the first 30 seconds. Great video

Thank you for your comment sir. I appreciate it very much. You also have a wonderful channel
I worked in a plastic bottle factory for a couple years many years ago. In a good shift, 8 hours, we could make a MILLION BOTTLES. In 8 hours! Well that factory is still open and making plastic bottles still. By the MILLIONS! And they estimate that only 10% are ever recycled. That's staggering! Huge warehouses full of millions of bottles. And they all go out to other factories every day. Millions and millions and millions of them. And that's just one factory. It's horrifying if you think about it.
Awesome dude! Since you asked.. I think it would be cool if you built a catamaran using something like 8” diameter pvc pipe for the hulls

Sorry it's been taking this long for an update. School has really gotten in the way. However, I'm halfway though editing Ep. 8 for the boat build so it should be coming out soon. Thanks for being this patient.
Any news or change? Did you manage to finish the boat? We are waiting anxiously.

I love this idea, I am collecting bottles to build my own. Though I watching videos to see what and what not to do. If you where to do this again, refrain from using glue to hold all together, instead use duct tape than wrap with serran wrap or plastic sheeting. Also if you do this again, it would be cool if you made a paddle boat and recycled the bottles from the old boat.

I'm like the paddle board boat idea. If I do make another one, which I probably will, I'll most likely go with your idea and use serran wrap over tape and glue.
Not gonna lie that plastic bottle boat looks nice

I'm good. School and life just got in the way. Although, I'm almost finished editing the next boat vid. My plan was to release it tomorrow but I've been having some difficulties with my editing platform. It should be coming out within the next few days.
So.. any progress on the main sailboat build?

Forstays and backstays on masts are a must.. i wonder if wrapping it in fibreglass so its like an enclosed canoe would be good..

If I only added a backstay, I think the mast and sail would have stayed up.

Back when I was your age (long time ago) a friend of mine had a book with plans and construction advice to build various milk jug boats. On another topic, have you come across the video of the guy who produces crude diesel fuel from plastic waste? The whole recycling thing has always been a sham. It was a propaganda campaign by the oil industry to make us feel better about buying more plastic.

Wow, I've never thought about it this way. Sounds like I have to do more research.
