Captain’s paper ship

ParticipantHello soldiers!
I’ve recently had a crazy idea, and I need your help to achieve it! I want to travel around my town (Strasbourg, France) using only a paper boat :)
The aim would be to do something fun, something memorable, to use my imagination by creating something quite unexpected and funny :)
I need your idea for the ship design and my costume, but also to realize this project as it is a bit challenging.
I think I’ll use cardboard to make a structure rigid enough to support my weight (75kg ~= 165 lb) while giving the ship the shape of an origami paper ship, but with the middle part half truncated to have a seat :)
I’ll eventually craft a steampunk pirate costume, and I think about a eyepath with the TSU logo, which will also be on a flag held up in the air.
During the travel (2-3km, about 1.5 miles), I think I’ll either sing or challenge tourist, speaking to them about anything that may come to mind. I’ll end up boarding a houseboat transformed in a bar, where I spend most of my free time :)
Waiting for you thoughs, idea, advices or anything that this project make you think about !

Ideas:
- rigid structure w/ e.g. metal rods (as the link shared by Gonzo)
- waterproof cardboard, using either spray or plastic cover

ParticipantImpressive :) At least I know I’m not the only one to get that idea :p
But I’ll also need to row so it won’t be exactly the same thing, but thanks for the idea!
