Royal Irish Yacht Club's Saskia Tidey sailing with Freya Black for Team GB earned a podium spot at the Mallorca Sailing Center Regatta in Palma.
The results come as the team gears up for the Princess Sofia Trophy when 1,700 sailors, coaches and support staff from 70 nations will descend on Palma at the end of March.
The British Sailing Team’s 49er, 49erFX and 470 crews were in action over a short series that saw Black and Tidey take silver in their first competitive outing since Paris 2024.
“It was fun to be back racing in Palma ahead of the Princess Sofia Regatta in a few weeks,” said triple Olympian Tidey of Dun Laoghaire Harbour.
“We have had a short winter of training after a good amount of time off after Paris. It’s been motivating to see some changes to our training starting to pay off.
“It’s early days but we are looking forward to hitting this season hard.”
As Afloat reported earlier, it wasn't the only Dun Laoghaire success in Palma at the weekend, with the National Yacht Club's Finn Lynch victorious in the ILCA 7.
