A sailor from Queensland is now hatching a plan to travel around Antarctica solo and non-stop would make the parts of her zero carbon emission vessel for the world record try-out out of recycled bottles and nut shells. 29 year old Lisa Blair would leave Western Australia in 2015’s December in a fifty foot yacht for around 15000 nautical mile journey.
Well, she wants to be the very first lady to achieve this fete. According to reports, she stated those years ago, she was reading all these books on solo sailors and she began falling in love with the whole idea as well as the romanticism of single handed solo sailing across the planet. It is always something that she envisioned doing at some stage in her life.
Her actual plan was to gear up sail later this December but she was forced to hold over because she as well as her team did not have funding. The boat would be made on a design by Andrew Dovell, the Australian naval architect.
He is well known for designing the frame for sixty foot catamaran named Plastiki, made out of around 12500 reclaimed plastic bottles, waste products as well as other recycled polyethylene terephthalate plastic.
The primary designs have been concluded and Ms Blair is now in talk with boat builders in the Gold Coast and Sydney. She expects that the construction would start in early 2015. This would be the very first time when she would build a boat. She is now looking for sponsorship.
