This cultural re-enactment event proposes with free guided tours on the boats at the moorings, where the crews are ready for any explanation, workshops for children, an exhibition of historical fishing equipment and shells in cooperation with the E'Scaion Museum, and a sailing event open to all, which will take place parallel to the coast so that the beautiful historical boats with their sails unfurled can be seen by everyone on the beach.
