Custom Sailing Trophies & Awards
Custom Sailing Trophies & Awards Australia
Unique yacht club, regatta and sailing awards designed around your event
Custom Trophies designs and manufactures custom sailing trophies and awards for yacht clubs, sailing clubs, regattas, championships, presentation nights and perpetual competitions across Australia.
Our sailing trophies can be created to reflect your club, class of boat, event branding, sponsor requirements or presentation theme.
Using clear acrylic, full-colour UV printing, layered shapes, mirror finishes, timber and solid bases, we can create modern sailing awards that feel distinctive, professional and completely unique.
From a single perpetual trophy to a full set of awards for a major regatta, our team can help develop a design that suits your event, quantity, budget and timeframe.

Custom acrylic sailing trophies
Acrylic is ideal for sailing trophies because it allows us to create clean nautical shapes, vibrant printed artwork and layered designs.
Custom acrylic sailing awards may feature:
- Yacht sails
- Boat silhouettes
- Waves
- Rudders
- Anchors
- Steering wheels
- Compass graphics
- Club burgee shapes
- Coastlines
- Harbour outlines
- Event logos
- Sponsor branding
Clear acrylic can create the appearance of sails, water and open space, while coloured or mirror acrylic can add depth and premium detailing.
Yacht and sail-shaped trophies
Acrylic can be precision cut into yacht, sail or boat-inspired shapes.
Designs may include:
- Single sail silhouettes
- Layered sail arrangements
- Yacht profiles
- Catamaran shapes
- Dinghy outlines
- Keelboat designs
- Stylised wave bases
- Club flag or burgee shapes
- Custom event symbols
This allows the trophy itself to become part of the event identity rather than relying on a standard trophy shape.
Full-colour printed sailing awards
UV printing allows detailed artwork to be printed directly onto suitable acrylic surfaces.
This may include:
- Club logos
- Event artwork
- Sponsor logos
- Sailing photographs
- Water and sky backgrounds
- Boat illustrations
- Nautical patterns
- Maps and coastlines
- Race-course graphics
- Individual recipient details
Reverse printing onto clear acrylic can create a smooth, polished front surface while helping protect the printed artwork from handling.
Layered sailing trophies
Multiple acrylic pieces can be combined to create depth and dimension.
Layered sailing trophies may include:
- Raised sails
- Separate boat and wave elements
- Mirror acrylic highlights
- Clear and coloured acrylic
- Printed backgrounds
- Raised club logos
- Dimensional lettering
- Contrasting borders
- Decorative nautical details
This style can be particularly effective for major regattas, championship events and premium presentation awards.
Sailing trophies with timber or solid bases
Timber, marble and other solid bases can add weight and create a more substantial presentation.
Bases may include:
- Engraved award plates
- Printed recipient details
- Club logos
- Event names
- Year and placing
- Sponsor branding
- Custom plaque layouts
Timber works well for traditional yacht clubs and perpetual awards, while black, white or marble-style bases can create a modern finish.
Perpetual sailing trophies
We can design custom perpetual trophies for annual club competitions, regattas and special awards.
Perpetual sailing trophies may include:
- A central custom acrylic feature
- Club or event branding
- Space for future winners
- Individual engraved plates
- Timber, marble or acrylic bases
- Front and rear engraving areas
- Multiple sides for additional plates
- Replaceable annual winner details
The design can be planned around the expected number of years the trophy will remain in use.
Sailing award categories
A complete event may require several award types.
These may include:
- Overall champion
- First, second and third place
- Division winners
- Class winners

- Yacht club logo
- Sponsor logo
- Event name
- Year
- Personalised thank-you wording
