In the lightweight women's double sculls A final, Aoife Casey and Margaret Cremen also came home in fifth.
Great Britain dictated throughout, confidently powering to victory ahead of Greece and France.
Fintan McCarthy and Hugh Moore were sixth in the men's lightweight double sculls A final.
The Irishmen went from lane one in an extremely competitive race.
Switzerland set the early pace, leading the way at the 500m mark. As they sought to eke out clear water, the Greeks and dangerous Italians positioned themselves within striking distance.
By the 1500m mark, the Swiss, Italians and Greeks had pulled away from the rest, with McCarthy and Moore part of a lagging trio alongside Ukraine and Czech Republic.
