Dylan Gauthier discusses cooperative boat building \\\ Red76


Dylan Gauthier talked about his involvement with the collective Mare Liberum, and boat-making as an act which enables exploration, possible freedom and a self-sustaining activity. The history of boats made from surplus materials is not just limited to leisure items, but extends to Cuban or Senegalese refugees or permanent drifters where it is a matter of their life rather than pleasure.

The methods and plans for the boats Mare Liberum creates are made simple enough for even the most novice builder to complete, making it accessible to all.
