NBYC Lightning Champion

THE F.F. Phillip's Trophy

The Phillips's Trophy was the gift of Chauncey and Chara Phillips and was awarded to the winner of the Lightning Class when the BBYRA was sailed at NBYC.

The trophy was first awarded in 1957 and was continued until 1999, when it went into semi retirement, because the Lightning fleet no longer regularly competes at NBYC on BBYRA Day. By 2012 The Lightning class no longer competed in the BBYRA series.

Many of the most outstanding Bay Lightning sailors have been winners of the Phillips Trophy over the years.
