DINGUS PERPETUAL
The Dingus Perpetual Trophy is awarded to the yacht with the lowest corrected time for the long course and short course in the Ancient Mariner Sailing Society sponsored Yesteryear Regatta.
This trophy was commissioned by AMSS in 1976 and built by Del Cover, one of the original AMSS members. When Cover was approached to build a corrected time winner trophy for AMSS he had a partially complete model of his own boat, the converted surplus Navy Wherry boat Dingus, that he showed AMSS. AMSS was so taken with this model that they requested that when finished it become the corrected time trophy.
RELIANCE PERPETUAL
The Herreshoff Reliance Perpetual Trophy was commissioned by the Ancient Mariner Sailing Society and dedicated in 1975 to recognize the fastest long course and short course yacht in the AMSS sponsored Yesteryear Regatta. This trophy was commissioned by AMSS and built by longtime AMSS member Del Cover.
This is one of the most sought after trophies in the Yesteryear Regatta and has served to attract some very fast yachts. The Reliance is a fitting hull for this trophy since she was well recognized as one of the fastest boats of and long after her time. The Reliance was designed by Nathaniel Herreshoff and built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company for the 1903 America’s Cup, which she convincingly won.

HERRESHOFF PERPETUAL
The Herreshoff Perpetual Trophy was donated by Bill Clark and dedicated in 1974 in order to recognize participation by Herreshoff yachts in the Ancient Mariner Sailing Society sponsored Yesteryear Regatta.
The trophy is awarded to the top Herreshoff yacht on Corrected Time. In 2002, the eligibility for winning this trophy was extended to include yachts built by Herreshoff to another designer’s design if no yacht both designed and built by Herreshoff is entered.
The Herreshoff Manufacturing Company was one of the best Boatbuilders of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Herreshoff was most famous for building a number of America’s Cup winning yachts. The yard also supported many other America’s Cup syndicates by providing rigging and haul-out services for yachts designed and built at other yards.
