21st Consecutive Awarding — 2012

This trophy is a solid brass 10 guage starting cannon mounted on a cast iron carriage. It was used for many years as the starting gun for the club's races. But it was heavy and awkward to use, so eventually the club switched to a 10 guage shotgun. The cannon was retired to a clubhouse closet.

By 1992 non-spinnaker racing had begun to grow to significant numbers, so a new Jib & Main division was added to the club's long-standing weekend series. A special trophy was needed that would provide to the top non-spinnaker bot in the series the same distinctive recognition that the Billado Trophy did for the top spinnaker boat. Commodore Chuck Bowen and Regatta Chair Jeff Hill resurrected the venerable cannon, had it mounted on a mahogony base, and a new tradition was born. In 1997 Bob Goodwin, having the trophy at home as that year's winner, completely refurbished the cannon and modified the base to make it better able to display winners' names.

In 1992 and since, the Cannon series includes the Tea Kettle, Ladies Cup, Schuyler Island, and Hot Ruddered Bum races.
