SHANDON sailor Anna Burnet has become a double world champion after successfully defending her Nacra 17 title with partner John Gimson in Oman over the weekend.
The British pair reclaimed the crown they won in Australia back in early 2020 to round off a stellar couple of years of competitive action.
Asked if they were now going to take a holiday, Burnet replied: “We’re taking an extra two days in Oman, but we’re going to have December off back at home and get back into sailing in the new year.”
Gimson, who has been Olympic campaigning for almost 20 years, added: “There isn’t that much time before Paris 2024.
"There’s been so little racing over the past 18 months, we’re taking every opportunity we’ve got. We love what we do.”
