Fifty persons, who know the English language perfectly, will perform the role of informants (relators, callers)  among other racers, representatives of foreign crews. For us it is a honorable and responsible mission. As regards the practice on board of the  «World», the students were given a unique opportunity to learn sailing ship, to study  its features.
