Britain's Paralympic sailors are guaranteed at least a silver and a bronze medal as the last day of the London 2012 Paralympic sailing takes place today.

Helena Lucas has already secured at least a silver medal, but she will be going for gold in the 2.4mR one-person keelboat class. Lucas has a nine-point lead over German sailor Heiko Kroger before today's final race.

"We have been working so hard on my speed so I'm happy in all conditions" said Lucas.

"Whatever it brings I'm looking forward to it and if I can have another good day on the water it would be fantastic. I'm really enjoying the regatta, it is one hell of an experience and I'm really enjoying it."
