It was a difficult day at the London 2012 Paralympics in Weymouth for the sailors. The scheduled morning racing had to be postponed for several hours as Portland Harbour was flat calm without a wisp of breeze.

Racing finally began for the Sonar class at 2pm in seven knots of breeze. John Twomey and his crew placed 10th in Race 5 and 10th in Race 6. They finish day three maintaining their position of 10th overall with a further five races left to sail. ISA website
