History:

WON BY
MR B. WILD’S
‘ALARM’

Trophy initially donated for a three heat series won by Mr B. Wild’s “Alarm”.

In 2007, Mr N.D.W. Harbourne, whose family had been the custodians of the trophy for over 70 years, decided, for reason of the genuine historical significance of the trophy with the St Kilda Sailing Club, to return it to the Squadron and for its members to keep in perpetuity.

Now awarded to best-placed 3rd Division boat in AMS Aggregate.
