Mary Bower 'Seniors' Trophy

Presented 1966 By John Long

Originally presented for Sisters Island Race

The teak wood used to construct this trophy was removed from the keel of the Mary Bower and replaced with lead in 1966 during a major refit at Vancouver Shipyards.

This Mary Bower 'Seniors' Trophy has been rededicated in memory of Fred and Patti-Ann Long for competition only in the PHRF Divisions of the RVYC Fraser River Lightship Race.
