In briefings held in Palacio de Exposiciones, responsible volunteers, Cristina Vacas, reported that volunteers areas covered: information, competition at sea, race office, access control, security and communications, Santander 2014 cultural, etc.

During these days, he stressed the need for a high level of English to give the best service in specific areas, such as the race office or information booth. Given the international nature of the Championship, many attendees were Spanish speakers and the first thing they will find when they get to Santander is volunteers.
 
On the other hand, insisted that the volunteers to perform work in the water must have experience as to a person who is not used to spend several hours at sea can be a difficult task.

The organization is very grateful to those who will spend their time in an event which will become an experience for all. It is also aware that not in all cases the provision may be absolute and, therefore, adapts to time people who want to lend a hand.

After selecting the organization has been forced to carry out, given the demand of citizens, has launched a planning during July to divide all the volunteers for areas and dates. From 15 to 31 August will be offered to all general and from 1 to 9 September specific training for each training area so that they can develop their work in the best possible way.

Although until September 12 there will be races, previous work is fundamental to the World. Therefore, on September 3, all volunteers must be accredited, trained and their respective jerseys.
