Tripp Brower speaks about his experience sailing the world, collecting stories and doing research.
About the speaker
A Lowcountry native, Tripp grew up constantly submerged in the waterways and culture that make up the coastal regions of South Carolina.
In 2014, Tripp founded the Lowcountry Maritime School (LMS), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to teaching young people math and science skills using boat building as a teaching platform. The mission, still to this day, is to inspire the Lowcountry's younger generations to reach their full potential through boatbuilding and exploring maritime culture.
In 2019, his passion for the natural environment, the belief in the connectivity of people, and a desire to gain a broader perspective on coastal regions worldwide inspired Tripp to co-found Apparent Winds. He resigned from LMS to set sail on a two-year circumnavigation and film project. Tripp is taking lessons from that journey and leading a new iteration of Apparent Winds.
Apparent Winds is a 10-year global expedition dedicated to collecting and sharing environmental and cultural preservation stories while conducting marine research aboard the sailing vessel ‘Resilience.’
