From the first group the drummer Jacek Fimiak has also been playing. During the past 20 years of the existence EKT Gdynia has won many distinctions in sea shanties festivals in Poland and abroad (f.e. in Canada), and hits like "24th February" (pol: "24 lutego"), "The Beskid Pub" (pol: "Bar w Beskidzie") or "People don't sell your dreams" (pol: "Ludzie, nie sprzedawajcie swych marzeń") have contributed to the sea shanty archievements.
