Perfect score for Matt Howard in Bandol

Matt Howard took three from three on the third day of the OK Dinghy Autumn Trophy in Bandol.

A win in the first race of the day for Howard, courtesy of a UFD for Charlie Cumbley, then a line to line win in the second race as the breeze built during the day.

In the third race as the breeze reached 20 knots, it was a three way tussle with Tim Petetin leading round the first triangle only for Howard and Cumbley to pass on the second upwind.

Racing concludes on Saturday and while the winner is not in much doubt, neither is the fact that no one really wants to leave . . . Beautiful Bandol continues to gift the OK Dinghy fleet perfect conditions, 27 degrees, sunny skies and amazing hospitality.
