- Bo Petersen takes lead on epic third day at OK Dinghy Europeans in Bandol
- Britain’s Nick Craig moves into third overall
Nick Craig is just four points back behind leaders Bo Petersen and Stefan de Vries of The Netherlands who are tied on nine points after six races.
Petersen had the best of the day winning the first two races using his exceptional downwind speed well, while de Vries was better upwind.
Craig also had his moments near the front for a 2, 3, 2, which leaves him four points off the top two.
Thursday’s leader, Valerian Lebrun, from France, couldn’t match the top three with three fourth places, and sits two points behind Craig.
While Britain’s Nick Craig is up to third, just four points back, it is a big ask to overtake the two leaders.
Petersen won two races on Friday before de Vries won the final race of the day.
It looks like they will battle for the title on Saturday, while Crig defends his podium place.
The championship concludes on Saturday with two more races scheduled.
