help us make more Precious Plastic videos / one_army
The Flipflopi Project on Lamu Island in Kenya is building entire sailing boats using the local plastic waste and is teaching young locals how to recycle and do plastic carpentry and boatbuilding.
In this video the Flipflopi students are taking you through their process of building the Dau la Mwao - a local fishing boat - from plastic waste to sailing vessel!

I have been studying boats for almost my entire life. I never thought I'd ever see one built out of plastic planks. Incredible.

@dominictarrsailing 10 месяцев назад

I have been day dreaming about a boat made from recycled plastic - so wonderful to see not just a boat but a traditional sail boat! it looks like the same technique as for a wooden boat, but those offcuts go back in the melting pot instead of becoming firewood!

@Precious_Plastic 10 месяцев назад

And now you can replicate you day dream ♥️

This extra-ordinary effort remains stuck in by brain. Though beautiful, it is not the boat and the massive amount of plastic captured making it that has me enthralled. While delighted and filled with wonder by the integration of plastic and traditional skills, it is more than just seeing a path illuminated, or novelty. The real joy here- the thing that fills my chest with emotion - is the communal participation. All these hands coming together to realize a vision, a common purpose, aspiring for a better world- this is what success looks like. This is what *hope* looks like. Not passive hope, but hope from action- the spirit firing every person drawn to the Precious Plastic movement -that WE can be the change.

Thank you so much for your continued support and words of encouragement ❤️ ever more hands joining the movement 🙌

It is amazing, how easily traditional woodworking techniques can be adapted to the recycled plastic. This should be a very sturdy boat which would never rot away.

Huge shoutout to all of you ! Your perseverance, your ingeniosity and your team work are really inspiring, on the subject about which we usually feel lack of interest, ignorance and apathy. This is a "Harambee" for th whole world !

@Precious_Plastic 10 месяцев назад

Shout back ❤️

Really lovin the combination of traditional boatbilding and the protest against the pollution of our planet! keep up the good work and high spirits =)

@Precious_Plastic 10 месяцев назад

Looking forward to see yours ♥️

@TheFlipflopi 10 месяцев назад

Wow, really?! If you do, please share your result with us, would be so excited to see! :)

@dittagecoeco2738 10 месяцев назад

Whoooa! So good to get overwhelmed by this. Loads of culture and magnificent teamwork, plus somethign. to me that someting is true innovation, not rocket science, but a solution for one of the unbalances (mostly due to human activities) that life on our planet have to face that can inspire loads of people for a CHANGE

@RicardodeSena 10 месяцев назад

Gostei muito da música e está em português!!! Sou Brasileiro e a música muito animada e feliz. Se puderem passar qual o nome e lugar da música agradeço. E grande arte de fazer barcos. I really liked the song and it's in Portuguese!!! I'm Brazilian and the music is very lively and happy. If you can pass on the name and place of the song, I'd appreciate it. And great art of making boats.

Baianá - Barbatuques

@jimysk8er 10 месяцев назад

could the change in material warrant a slightly different design (using the same building techniques). I wonder if the strength to weight is the same and I wonder if they could fare the hull more to improve speed. There are also dozens of fittings and tackle that could be molded from plastic for holding ropes and gear etc.

@its_marc 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic teamwork and a great use of recycled materials using just basic tooling. Maybe an idea to come up with some recycled personal buoyancy aids just incase though.

@Precious_Plastic 10 месяцев назад

Yay

@Antipodean33 10 месяцев назад

Boat looks very heavy and is sitting very deep in the water. I'd like to compare it to the boat that the design was taken from, to see just how deep it's sitting compared to the original timber version. I'm unsure why it was built with such thick frames, those frames to my mind could be half the thickness, therefore saving weight. I understand the idea is to use as much plastic as possible, but the fact remains these dudes have to use these boats in the ocean and safety is paramount. Weight is a serious safety factor, especially in small sail boats that are used for offshore fishing. Hopefully it will evolve as it continues along

@Precious_Plastic 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the technical tip! We'll pass it along

@mavigogun 10 месяцев назад

That was happy making- but how 'bout a music credit? Gotta get me more of these tune!

@mrMacGoover 5 месяцев назад

Seems like the frame and boards are way too thick and the boat was riding low in the water.

@prettyflyforabeeguy4248 10 месяцев назад

I love all the cool stuff you do! How heavy is the boat when it's all finished? How much would a boat like that sell for in Kenya? Would it be practical to make a sail from plastic bags?

@katharinaelleke4994 10 месяцев назад

Sail from plastic bags, it's funny, actually you see some locals sewing together plastic bags and using them as sail and it kind of works haha. And in fact the sail we are using is made from recycled PET bottles too! But it would be interesting to do it with the plastic bag ironing technique, even though i could imagine it might be too stiff... To be tested!

@mysoneffa2417 7 месяцев назад

Amazing work all round 🎉. =》It seems that trapezoidal tongue & groove on boards & trapezoidal tenon splines on ribs would eliminate nails & screws -saving on cost of store bought fastners, most caulking & welding too. Ribs can be aligned on a common axis instead of side by side, by using the same type of scarf joint, as on the plank side walls, so that they become a single piece, not only strengthening but reduce mass, increasing balance. Excess material could be hollowed out of the ribs, reducing unnecessary material & weight , then re-drilled creating plastic pipe couplings & plugs, as a useful 2ndy value added product (○) (○) ● ● .

@williamwoolcock 10 месяцев назад

Centerboard?

@jacklorax 10 месяцев назад

Wow. You made a very sturdy boat, but it seems to me that this could be done more efficiently, maybe 3D printing a hull that is one or two centimeters thick. Another option may be to make a clay or cement form and carefully cover it with the melted plastic. If it is a cement form, it could be used time and time again, but it would be harder to get the boat off. If it is a clay form, it could be more easily scooped and washed out. I am just brainstorming and I do not know if these ideas are feasible. Best of luck.

@mavigogun 10 месяцев назад

This isn't just a case of perfect being the enemy of good. Part of the magic here is the integration of skills and roles people already have- the applicability to contemporary life. Not the new. Not the "efficient" use of materials. THIS is the path that can be taken to those places, if that is where good lies.

@jacklorax 10 месяцев назад

@@mavigogun Yes, but this could be much more efficient and the boat could be more streamlined. More brainstorming: I am imagining a upside-down form on wheels that can be moved around under an extruder and the plastic would be smoothed manually. Best wishes.

@TheFlipflopi 10 месяцев назад

@@mavigogun Exacto :) You got the point! Even though, still we do agree that even within the traditional building techniques we could improve efficiency of materials with the plastic. Work in progress :)
