The Fowle Trophy honors the late Graduate Secretary of the New England District and Executive Vice President of the ICYRA/NA. Len served in both posts from their creation until his death in 1973 and his devotion to college sailing is without peer. College sailing today had its very beginnings in the organizational ability and personal drive of this one man.
This trophy is awarded to the team of the College or University with the greatest number of Fowle Trophy Points.
The points are determined using the composite results of the Women’s Singlehanded, Men’s Singlehanded, Match Race, Women's Dinghy Semifinals/Finals, Team Race, and Coed Dinghy Semifinals/Final Championship Regattas. Each team shall receive points toward the Fowle Trophy Award based on its finishing place in each of the events in the composite. Except that only the best finishing place in the Women’s Singlehanded and Men’s Singlehanded Championships shall be used to determine the points for each school in those events.
