Britain has won two medals on the final day of the London 2012 Paralympic Sailing Regatta at Weymouth and Portland today (Thursday 6 September).

Helena Lucas – the only woman in her class - has won 2.4 Metre one-person keelboat gold and Alexandra Rickham and Niki Birrell have won SKUD two-person keelboat bronze.

Lucas was sat in gold medal position, with a nine-point cushion over second-placed Heiko Kroger (GER), and guaranteed at least a silver medal overnight while Rickham and Birrell were also guaranteed at least bronze.

A lack of breeze in Portland Harbour today meant no sailing was possible ensuring that the overnight positions remained and the medals went to Great Britain.
