Hope. Fuller, a lifelong seafarer and captain of Team Antigua Atlantic Rowers, which placed second in the 2017 edition, is confident in Team Antigua Island Girls\u2019 abilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are more advanced than any other team currently training for the event in terms of their preparation. They don\u2019t have a lot of ocean experience like the other teams but they are gaining it rapidly. They are very dedicated and although the teams that I have seen registered so far seem to be more competitive than in the past, Team Antigua Island Girls can win the Women\u2019s Division.
