Barrel raft

I want to make a barrel raft meant for covering long distances @ sea. Can you redirect me 2 basics of raftbuilding or special info on this?

 

I wouldn't go with a barrel raft for the sea. I'd use 2 part foam inside a pontoon (the pontoon needn't be watertight).

Check out www.floatingneutrinos.com
Browse the site and take a look at the Absolute Absolution and it's construction. Also check out "Raft Building - How the Neutrinos Do It"

 

Google barrel raft. Where will you get all your barrels from?

How many do you think you'll need? You will probably want to fill them with expanding foam for safety.

Where do you want to go?
