This is unlike any catamaran you’ve ever seen. Instead of smooth hulls to minimise water resistance, it comprises a frame made out of self-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (srPET) panels and sealed plastic bottles (filled with carbon dioxide to 5 bar to make them impact-proof) held in place by srPET netting to provide buoyancy – making it more like a high-tech raft.
