the ship can collect between 1 to 3 tonnes of waste per hour, with the objective of collecting 5 to 10,000 tonnes per year.

Now, *that* is freakin awesome.. :thumb:

We need one 4 times that size working the garbage patch NE of here.  It's huge.  An underutilized resource of potential energy.

That is where a self replicating AI would be a good thing. If the sailboat would clone itself out of the dredged plastic and be autonomous, the mid Pacific gyre would be cleaned up fast.
