Three more race wins for Nick Craig at the OK Dinghy Autumn Trophy in Bandol
After an enforced lay day due to strong winds, the third day of the OK Dinghy Autumn Trophy in Bandol on Monday bought a mix of conditions, starting with light winds and rain and ending in 15 knots sunshine and waves.
On paper, Nick Craig won all three races, but he was pushed hard in all three, by Dave Bourne, Terry Curtis, Brent Williams and Greg Wilcox and had to make up a lot of ground in some races.
However, he managed to be ahead by the final mark through superior downwind techniques to take three more wins.
Bourne remains second with Wilcox in third, with two races remaining on Tuesday.
