The trophy is awarded to the second place team in the ICSA Dinghy Championship.

The ICSA Season Point Championship
for the Leonard M. Fowle Trophy
The Fowle Trophy honors the late Graduate Secretary of the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association and Executive Vice President of ICYRA. Len Fowle served in both posts until his death in 1973. Modern college sailing owes much of its success to the organizational ability and personal drive of this remarkable man. The winner of the Fowle Trophy is determined based upon the best cumulative performance in the six North American Championships: Men's Singlehandeds, Women's Singlehandeds, Sloops, Women's Dinghies, Team Race, and Coed Dinghies.

The Sloop Championship was inaugurated in 1972 with the first championship held at the University of California at Irvine in Shields-class sloops. To commemorate that event the PCIYRA donated the Cornelius Shields Sr. Trophy. The trophy was named in honor of Mr. Shields of Larchmont, New York, who was one of the most well known sailors of his time.
