You can get the Swift Sail after completing Dragoon Roost Cavern. Although unless you saw the Nintendo Directs there isn't really anyway of knowing that; I'm not sure if the game ever tells you of the existence of the swift sail, there's probably an NPC but who knows.

Edit: also getting the swift sail is tedious, I don't know what the chances of appearing in the auction house are but god dammit it took me a long ass time to finally show up.

The chances of it appearing increase when there are fewer items in the rotation. Since the swift sail didn't replace any item from the original release, it brings the total to five. That puts the initial chance at 20%. Buy other things to increase the chance to 25%, 33%, 50% and 100%.

Yep I know that, but at that point in the game (after Dragoon Roost that is) you really don't have much cash, so you can't really buy all items to increase the chance of the Swift Sail to appear; and iirc the Sail can costs at the lowest 200 rupees and there are other items (like a Piece of Heart and Treasure Charts) that cost around the same...I guess you can grind for rupees, but again, at that point in the game it would be extremely tedious.

This isn't a problem later when you have more cash.
