WORLD'S TOUGHEST ROW

Team Antigua Island Girls, Antigua and Barbuda’s history-making rowers are doing it again. The team of four—Christal Clashing, Elvira Bell, Kevinia Francis, and Samara Emmanuel ,who were the first all-black Caribbean female crew to row across the Atlantic —will compete in the inaugural Pacific Challenge in 2023 with the Atlantic Campaigns, the official race organizers of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic.

The inaugural Pacific Challenge will be a 2,800 nautical mile race from Monterey Bay in California to Nawiliwili Harbour in Kauai, Hawaii. The challenge commences on June 12, 2023, with up to 20 teams participating from across the globe.

There is an air of anticipation and excitement that will be present during the pre-race period as the team complete their training to reach the start line and set off on their row across the Pacific Ocean.
