Michał Dębowski - skipper, instructor, webmaster
I met Sławek in 2001 when I started my studies at the Faculty of Navigation and Ship Armament at the Naval Academy. He was the one who infected me with a passion for sailing, and with him, I gained my first sailing experiences. Since then, I have sailed in various waters. I have been sharing my passion with Sławek for over 20 years.
At SailCraft, I sailed across the Atlantic, and I have crossed the Baltic Sea several times. For me, sailing school is not just another challenge and experience, but above all, a mission to train new generations of sailors as well as possible.
Marek
Marek Polniak - owner, instructor
I have been interested in water sports and tourism since childhood. A particular passion for mechanical solutions used in yacht engines and shipbuilding has significantly contributed to my educational path.
After gaining maritime experience as a young motorboat operator, I decided
to commit myself professionally to the sea by enrolling in the Naval Academy. I have an education in the operation of shipboard equipment. I worked for many years servicing mechanical devices, including ship power plants while serving on ships of the Navy.
I gained experience during voyages from the Mediterranean Sea to the Norwegian Sea, also training students on the training ship of the Polish Navy.
Currently, after completing active service, I conduct classes in the Department of Ship Electrical Engineering at the Naval Academy and motorboat courses at SailCraft. I regularly participate in sailing and motorboat trips, further developing my passion for water sports.
Irek
Ireneusz Kamiński - instructor
I took my first steps on board a yacht at the age of 14. I learned sailing on Lake Kałębie and in Puck and Gdańsk Bays. I am a professional officer and an academic teacher, associated with the Naval Academy since 1990, where I am responsible, among other things, for training students in sailing and motor boating. As an instructor of the integrated STCW safety course, I conduct classes in maritime rescue.
I have participated several times in civil and military championships in Europe, where I won the titles of champion and vice-champion of Europe. I have participated twice in the Military World Games, winning a bronze medal in 2011 in Rio de Janeiro.
During The Tall Ships Races 2013, as captain with a crew of students from the Naval Academy, I won the regatta from Riga to Świnoujście.
At the turn of 2017/2018, I was a member ofthe crew of Katharsis II, which was the first in the world to circumnavigate Antarctica non-stop along and south of 60° south latitude.
Sebastian
Sebastian Kała - skipper
For over 20 years, I have been professionally and recreationally connected with the sea. I am a trained marine navigator and hydrographer. I hold a yacht and motorboat captain's license. I have participated in and led voyages on both small and large yachts. The Baltic, the North Sea, the Mediterranean... Antarctica - wherever the wind takes me.
Watch officer on ships and vessels, ship commander, practitioner, and sailing enthusiast. From 2014 to 2016, I served as a juror at the Maritime Chamber in Gdynia. Full STCW.
I enjoy sharing my experiences and practice. A few years ago, as part of promoting sailing, I wrote several articles in the "Polish Ports" series for the "Skippers' Tavern."
I gladly visit new places and lesser-known ports.
See you at sea.
Sławek
Sławomir Gronowski - owner, instructor
The SailCraft sailing and motorboating school was born out of a passion for the sea, countless hours on watch, experience in training crews, and examining sailors and motorboaters. In competitive sailing, I participated for many years in the 730 and Skippi 650 classes, often taking top places in the Polish Cup.
I am an instructor, yacht captain, and motorboat captain. Professionally, I am also connected to the sea, among other things I held the position ofcommanderof a shipin the Navy. I have specialized education in navigation and hydrography. The experience I gained during professional and sailing trips, from the Black Sea to Iceland, as well as during crew training, defines the direction I intend to take in my classes. The knowledge and experience I possess allowed me to serve as a lay judge in the Maritime Appeals Chamber from 2020 to 2022.
In my school, the most important aspect is the practical approach to the theoretical knowledge conveyed, as well as the classes that take place on the water.
