If you really want, you can create a floating vehicle from literally any material, even rubbish … This theory was proved by employees of a British company. Lone twinwho carried out the project Boat project, within which was built quite suitable for sailing yacht length of 9 meters.
Previously, garbage was just garbage that was thrown into a landfill and forgotten about it. Now our society, obsessed with ecology and, therefore, recycling of waste, can make anything out of garbage. You want a work of art (like Angela Pozzi), you want a floating vehicle, like the English company Lone Twin.
The Boat Project is a project to create a yacht from materials that, in theory, are completely unsuitable for this! Lone Twin announced plans to implement this idea through its website in early 2011. And within a few months, everyone could send any items to the British craftsmen, with the only condition that they must be wooden.
From February to August 2011, there was intense work on the implementation of the Boat Project. During this time, the craftsmen from Lone Twin managed to create a nine-meter yacht made of such unusual materials as acoustic guitars, children's puzzles, tennis and badminton rackets, clothespins, picture frames, furniture, etc.
Moreover, this yacht turned out to be not decorative, but quite suitable for sailing, which was proved by trial launches carried out in the fall of 2011. And on May 7, this vehicle set sail around the island of Great Britain to be in London by the start of the Olympic Games. But after the Olympics, the yacht will turn into a museum exhibit on the waterfront of the city of Chichester - it is in this village that the Lone Twin company is based.

I blinded him from what washed ashore. Trash sculptures by Angela Pozzi
