Al Schonborn had Lady Luck smile on him as he
needed 11 points from the season finale to pass
the three boats ahead of him in the 2018 Storer
Trophy competition. A record-breaking 11 boats did
indeed come to Charlotte's Catawba YC and Uncle Al
teamed up with spinnaker rookie, Keith Gunder, to
get exactly the needed 11 points and win the
Storer Trophy with 65 total points. Sharing in the
glory with Uncle Al were no fewer than eight
different crews: Ali Kishbaugh, Calvin Groen,
David Stifler, Frank Goulay, Hans Gottschling,
Keith Gunder, Shannon Donkin and Tony Krauss.
One point back of Oakville, Ontario's Uncle Al and his horde of crews were Parry Sound's Sue Pilling and Steph Romaniuk who at 64 points managed to edge out the 2017 Storer Trophy winners, David and Anne Pugh - also of Oakville - by just a single point. Two points back of the Pughs, in series 4th, were the top USWA entry, Michigan's Marc Bennett and his wife, Julie. A group of five North Carolina entries occupied spots 5 through 9. Richard Johnson and Michele of Oriental took 5th, and was followed by four Wayfarers from the ever stronger Lake Townsend YC fleet: Jim and Linda Heffernan, Uwe Heine and wife, Nancy, AnnMarie Covington with various crews, and Phil and Cathy Leonard. Rounding out the top ten where three Ontario teams tied with 30 points: Mike Codd with Kirk Iredale (Toronto/Pembroke), Conestoga's Leo and Joanne Van Kampen, and Mississauga SC's Mike and Marg Duncan.
