"It's been our best regatta to date, so we can be proud of that.
"It came down to a 20-minute race, but the whole week we sailed fantastically. We should be really proud of ourselves, there's not many things we could have done differently this week, and it came down to a 20-minute race."
The 27-year-old said that the course conditions meant that their medal hopes were all but over from the beginning.
In sailing, boats must decide for themselves whether they need to turn back after a general signal for a false start.
"We had a tough time on the start line, the boat below us was over the line so we had to make a decision, do we go back and clear ourselves if we were over as well, and we took that decision.
"After that, there wasn't really much chance to get back into it. It was a fairly straightforward course so not much we can do."
