This cup was presented to the Solo Fleet  by Donald Dunford in 2002. There is a somewhat complicated method of determining the winner, i.e.the cup will be awarded to the  person who is a regular sailor but not a regular race winner. He/she will have come highest in the ranking under someone who has won a trophy. From 2016 the trophy is awarded to the highest in the ranking using a Solo that is 10 or more years old. Anyone who has previously won the Millennium cup is not eligible.
