Beautiful Polish and foreign vessels, the humming and drumming of bulging and emptying sails, the sound of the wind wailing through the shrouds and of bellowed, wind-snatched sailing songs can be heard accompanying your every step – these are the attractions associated with Sail Świnoujście. Indeed, during the sea cruises available to all the curious, you can even watch the sailors at work, and sometimes help in raising the sails. Sail Świnoujście is held with the playing of shanties and the singing of the traditional songs of the sea-farers, within as part of the simultaneously organised Sailing Songs Festival “Wiatrak” (one of the oldest Polish festivals of this kind).
