The Floating Stories Lab (FSL) is a French non-profit association, hand-building a 41-foot Polynesian-inspired wooden catamaran as a voyaging platform for storytelling, citizen science, and ecological research.

Join co-founder Angie Richard—producer of Women & the Wind documentary and ambassador for the Women & the Wind Foundation—for a behind-the-scenes look at how this project weaves together minimalist boatbuilding, creative practice, and the community-driven Regenerative Tides: Sailing for Solutions (ReTISS) citizen science campaign.

 

ReTISS engages coastal communities in mapping, monitoring, and responding to the environmental legacy of abandoned fiberglass boats through collaborative data collection, advocacy, and storytelling.
