These are big heavy boats but nobody was giving anybody any room; they all know what they\u2019re doing,\u201d commented Coleman Garvey. \u201cAfter the leeward mark we managed to put a bit of distance between us and extended as the race went on, but the first half of the race was very tight. It looks like we are going to have good racing for the week, so we are looking forward to that.

English Harbour 5 year old Rum is the exclusive rum for Antigua Sailing Week and will continue to be following the renewal of a multi-year sponsorship. Calbert Francis, Global Export Manager, Antigua Distillery Ltd commented: \u201cThis year is very special as Antigua Distillery is celebrating its 90th anniversary. As the name suggests, English Harbour Rum is matched with sailing and Antigua Sailing Week is the most iconic regatta in the whole Caribbean. The synergy between English Harbour Rum and Antigua Sailing Week is a perfect match. When we make our plan for the year, Antigua Sailing Week is always the first event that we plan. We are very proud to be a part of Antigua Sailing Week.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"CToWUd a6T\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/Vr2gSzvZ3Cv83u7hPzqXDhprDxnQppNcMblp0VOSZXvW4_xx2p1aU_natkhZ2PRFBwVP_NiCUIqMFjbiCLejcOTTzVWPM0GVE4zbLAGHi_IPxO-PUWe0J-UecwKcLbm_9clGGkNhkWsITS9HzOZTEJkj=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/d8fc17ed001\/25865e43-ce16-43c2-b8f5-c7381554d998.jpg?rdr=true\" alt=\"\" width=\"558\" data-bit=\"iit\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<p align=\"center\">English Harbour Rum Race Day Lawn Bar &#8211; All set to welcome crews \u00a9 Travis Harris<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">The English Harbour Rum Race Day Prize Giving was held on the lawn of the Antigua Yacht Club and included a cocktail bartender competition.
