The Arthur Goodwin Wood Memorial Trophy was offered to perpetuate the memory and services of the late Arthur Goodwin Wood, founder and first commodore of the club in 1887, and a yachtsman who always heldthe Pleon's welfare foremost as he served for many years as its beloved and trusted advisor. It is awarded only to those distinguished members who have performed long and notable service within the club or in recognition of some outstanding achievement that reflects credit upon the Pleon Yacht Club.

The recipient is generally chosen by the Graduate Committee, acting on its own initiative or upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee. The names of the winners are inscribed upon the Wood Bowl.
