Anna Corbella

Anna Corbella i Jordi (born 1976) is a Catalan Spanish sailor. She was the first Spanish woman to sail non-stop around the world and the third woman to do it twice.

Life Corbella was born in 1976 in Barcelona and by the age of four she was on a boat with her parents.

She studied in her home city and she graduated in veterinary medicine at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Corbella had begun sailing early and by 1999 she was the Spanish champion in the 420 class dinghy. In the following year she was the national champion in the 470 class. In 2009 she turned professional.

In the next edition of the Barcelona World Race, in 2015, she finished in third position on board the same boat with Gerard Martín. They had completed the 28,000 mile crossing much quicker (in 91 days) and in a higher position than her previous voyage. They had achieved this despite an injury to her knee that meant that Gerard Martin had had to sail the boat solo for several days.

Among other awards, Corbella received the silver medal of the Royal Order of Sports Merit in 2011, the regatta of the year 2010 of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation, as well as the special mention of IV Women and Sports Award 2010 .
