I merely exited my car in Sausalito near a marina replica TAG Heuer Link womens watches across from San Francisco.The wind was viciously quick that day.I had driven over on invitation from IWC to witness the Plastiki.A boat that they are a major sponsor of, and have released a limited edition set of their popular Ingenieur watches for.While I was being bullied by the elements, my view (through the rain), was the completed 60 foot catamaran style boat made mostly out of reused, or recycled plastic bottles - the same type millions of people each day drink soda out of.
It looked more impressive in person than in the small cartoonish images I had seen it before as.12,500 bottles and about four years after the journey to replica TAG Heuer Kirium womens watches build it started, it was ready for its maiden voyage.The point of the thing? To be a sound vessel both ecologically and functionally.For most of our history we have been building boats.The eons of experience have allowed us to realize that the sea is an incredibly unforgiving place.Just a boat worthy of an ocean voyage far away from shore is tough.
It is tempting to use the best and most capable materials that are available.So what do you do if you want a cross-continent traveling green ship? Four years of R&D apparently.IWC is a patient sponsor.The Plastiki was pretty far behind schedule.It needed replica TAG Heuer Carrera womens watches reevaluation a few times, but the finished result was promising.Like all good experiments, the project resulted in a new use for used plastic bottles.Through some basic processing, they can be turned into a fiberglass like material that is very hard (at least as strong as fiberglass as I understand), workable, and a bit flexible as well.
