Round The Light Trophy

Presented for:

The first cruiser in the Fred Johnson Memorial series.

Originally the trophy was presented for the cruiser round the light race but in 1991 as memorial to Fred Johnson, who incidentally had nearly always won the trophy, a series of races was introduced for the Fred Johnson Memorial Trophy in which all boats, dinghies, dayboats and cruisers wound take part.

Recently it has been presented to the winner of the Cruiser Regatta
