Gold medal winners Saskia Clark and Hannah Mills
West Mersea sailor Saskia Clark has won gold in the Rio Olympics.
Clark and her partner Hannah Mills have won the title in the 470 class - going one better than their silver medal in the London 2012 games.
Clark - who started sailing at Dabchicks sailing club in West Mersea - and Mills are 20 points ahead in the series meaning they are guaranteed the gold before the final medal race as long as they are not disqualified.
