She was also part of the New Zealand crew that won the 1990 World Women's Match Racing Championships in New York. Jan Shearer and Fiona Galloway competed for New Zealand in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul in the 470W Class - this was the first time a women's yachting class was contested at the Olympic Games. They finished ninth. Shearer and Galloway also won the 100 year anniversary of 'Kiel Week' Germany in the 470W Class. Shearer and Egnot competed again at 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta finishing 16th. Their competitiveness was hampered by an injury Egnot was carrying at the time.
