The splendid trophy, designed by Mom Luang Tri Devakul and graciously bestowed by His Majesty King of Thailand, features nine sails rising up from a silver bed that represents the sea. On top of the sails is the symbol of His Majesty the King of Thailand, which is known as the "TraSanyalak", along with his initials and the Thai symbol for 9 as the King is the ninth of Chakri Dynasty. Surmounting all of this is the King's crown symbolizing his patronage of the event.
