The UK catamaran pairing that set the fastest cross-channel time between Northern Ireland and Scotland in September have become European Champions in the mixed Nacra 17 class.
Great Britain's Anna Burnet and John Gimson clinched the title at a light-weather edition of the championships in Vilamoura, Portugal this week.
The Tokyo 2020 silver medallists took an early lead at the regatta in Portugal but then fell down to third.
A strong performance on day five helped them back into top spot and they won after no racing was possible on the sixth day because of a lack of breeze.
"It was a bit of an anticlimax not getting any racing on the final day," said Burnet.
It is the pair's second time won the European title, having also claimed victory in 2021.
"Where we've got to as a team now means we have the ability to debrief really well and quickly figure out what we need to do to get better. That's something we did well this regatta."
As regular Afloat readers will know, the Olympic Catamaran medalists smashed the cross-channel record time between Ireland and Scotland in a time of 1hr 30 minutes 41 seconds, beating the 1995 record set by Ian Wilson and the late Johnny Mullan of Ballyholme Yacht Club in a Tornado catamaran in 1 hr 41 minutes 28 seconds.
