Only British medal winners were John Gimson and Anna Burnet with a Gold in the Nacra17 class.
Gianluigi Ugolini and Maria Giubilei of Italy won the Nacra medal race but Gimson and Burnet’s third place was enough to clinch overall victory. Bronze went to Willemijn Offerman and Scipio Houtman of Holland.

Not a patch on the nine medal haul, 5 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze, at the Trofeo Princesa Sofía Mallorca event just three weeks ago, which has set a high bar for British Sailing Team for the season.
