The Leonard Munn Fowle Memorial Medal

The Leonard Munn Fowle Memorial Medal for Improvement was originally offered in 1935 in memory of a Marblehead yachting official whose interest in the encouragement, advancement, and improvement of junior yachting and the Pleon Yacht Club was unceasing and who obtained in 1921 a special invitation for Pleon, America's first junior yacht club, to compete in the first series for the Sears Cup sponsored by the Eastern Yacht Club.

The award is given annually to the member of Pleon Yacht Club who, in the opinion of the Race Committee and other competent judges, has shown the greatest improvement in sailing, racing tactics, and yacht handling since the last award.
