Starting with the keel, the ribs and connection parts, then making the hull with the extruded planks, and finishing with the colourful Flipflop sheets. \n\n Other than using this new material, the boatbuilders made the boat in their traditional way, meaning that they used very basic tools (every screw was inserted with a hand drill and a screwdriver!). \n\nThis is obviously something we won't be able to teach you here - that's what you need a boatbuilder for! :) " - text: "Alright, now we only had to add (second hand) parts from other sailing boats like the mast, boom, sail and ropes. And were finally ready to do what the boat was meant to be for: Sailing around Kenya to create awareness around the problem and inspire local communities to be part of a positive change!\n\nOn our first expedition the boat sailed smoothly for more than 500km from the north of Kenya to Zanzibar, carried its passengers safely while creating excitement and fascination everywhere we went!\n\n❗️IMPORTANT: Definitely test and check your boat if it's seaworthy! You'll be responsible for your passengers and yourself, and don't want to risk your lives 🙏 " images: - size: 253380 type: "image/jpeg" updated: "2021-02-10T07:40:10.321Z" timeCreated: "2021-02-10T07:40:10.321Z" contentType: "image/jpeg" name: "FF-boatbuilding-process-7.jpg" downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FM40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5%2FFF-boatbuilding-process-7.jpg?alt=media&token=3d76a69c-8569-4c11-927d-2d84aa99ed02" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/M40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5/FF-boatbuilding-process-7.jpg" - downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FM40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5%2Fflipflopi-sailing-3%20copy.jpg?alt=media&token=ee05d077-aa00-482f-aa38-a5e763292469" contentType: "image/jpeg" name: "flipflopi-sailing-3 copy.jpg" type: "image/jpeg" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/M40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5/flipflopi-sailing-3 copy.jpg" updated: "2021-02-10T07:40:11.148Z" timeCreated: "2021-02-10T07:40:11.148Z" size: 97843 - downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FM40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5%2F9-phase%201-Diani-.jpg?alt=media&token=c66eb5a3-c29a-4c9e-8439-e11f689071e5" contentType: "image/jpeg" type: "image/jpeg" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/M40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5/9-phase 1-Diani-.jpg" size: 354812 timeCreated: "2021-02-10T07:40:19.593Z" name: "9-phase 1-Diani-.jpg" updated: "2021-02-10T07:40:19.593Z" title: "Sail and inspire!" _animationKey: "uniqueomm8dk" - text: "It was a big process with a lot of learning, and yes, the result is a functional boat - but the process was quite rough with a lot of space for improvement. \n\nOn the way we also made more tests and analysed the properties of the materials. \nYou can find a report here: \ntinyurl.com/flipflopi-material-analysis \n\nAnd the document we shared in Step 1 has everything with more details as well :)" title: "Things we learned" _animationKey: "unique5ibj14" images: - name: "Screenshot 2020-10-07 at 19.08.43.png" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/M40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5/Screenshot 2020-10-07 at 19.08.43.png" timeCreated: "2021-02-10T07:40:24.723Z" size: 186347 type: "image/jpeg" contentType: "image/jpeg" downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FM40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5%2FScreenshot%202020-10-07%20at%2019.08.43.png?alt=media&token=a074d9e5-e0e0-46c9-92e5-68b889d32f29" updated: "2021-02-10T07:40:24.723Z" - title: "Join us! ⛵️ " images: - timeCreated: "2021-02-10T07:40:29.174Z" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/M40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5/kubwa-next.jpg" contentType: "image/jpeg" type: "image/jpeg" size: 202683 downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FM40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5%2Fkubwa-next.jpg?alt=media&token=c2d6dbe8-f2b5-4c64-8d28-90784c5d7c23" updated: "2021-02-10T07:40:29.174Z" name: "kubwa-next.jpg" _animationKey: "unique4pj07" text: "We already reached hundreds of thousands locally and globally with our expedition and the story around the boat.
