Artist Sailed in a Giant Paper Boat

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Car & Vehicle, Pictures on August 27, 2007 at 12:40 am


Artist Frank Boelter got this idea when fiddling with an empty milk carton at breakfast: to make and sail a gigantic paper boat made with "Tetrapack," the material used for packaging milk!

The £110 boat is 30 feet long, weighs 55 pounds, uses a 170-square-metre piece of Tetrapack paper, and took only two hours to construct. Boelter said it will survive forty days before it disintegrates into a wet, sinking mass.

    Now if it were a giant, paper SAILboat... then I'd really be impressed.

    This is not rare because they build houses with Tetrapack in Colombia and other latin american countries.
