The Race for Water
We are about to meet the MOD 70 (70 foot long Trimaran) bearing the colours of the Race For Water non profit organization in Rapa Nui, half way through its circumnavigation. The expedition is making a stop at the most isolated island on earth for field collections of marine debris. The scientists on board, together with the rest of the crew will work on estimating the concentration (mass of plastic compared to the sampled beach area) and the sources of plastic debris i.e. fishing and tourism industries, domestic wastes and so on. What also makes a strong connection between us and the Race for Water Odyssey is that its crew members (including Stève Ravussin , multihull skipper and record holder of the Jules Verne Trophy) are all avid board riders, hooked on SUP.
