From the way that Gary Ball talks about the 40-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/40" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Hakvoort Shipyard (Company)">Hakvoort</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a>, you would have no idea that he is relatively new to the world of yachting. Having purchased the unique, Dutch-built vessel in November, Gary’s passion for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a> and the lifestyle she provides radiates through the phone line in our recent Ontario to Amsterdam call. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203397/image/large-360e3779987144e3d767546d5dabe99d.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203397">Though he describes his entry into yachting as “untraditional”, he is a born archetype of a superyacht owner: adventurous, passionate and full-spirited. Having visited more than 70 countries in his previous travels by land and air — Gary is also a hobbyist aeroplane pilot — he and his wife decided that it was time to see the world from a different perspective, by water.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203398/image/large-321c233a4b622399a7a7095a0c6ceb5b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203398">On a spontaneous whim last summer, Gary and his wife Susan decided it was time to get (back) into yachting. Having previously owned a 38-foot Carver Aft Cabin that the pair used up in the Georgian Bay area, the couple had always had a longing to get back on the water. In the midst of the Canadian 2020 Covid summer, Gary recalled Susan’s welcome suggestion: “You know, maybe we should get a boat again”, she told him, with one of their dreams to continue to travel at the forefront of her mind. From that moment, what had previously seemed like a light hearted possibility became a serious prospect; the couple were certain they no longer wanted to curb their love of the water. The search, which would result in finding <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a>, known then as Revelry, commenced.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203393/image/large-2968b8070cf4b0659a850c9313aad76a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203393">Gary recounted the “rather quick process” of their search, which began in July and concluded in November, on a Friday the 13th to be precise. Superstition has been set aside with the delivery of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a>, and the day instantly gained a lucky reputation for the couple. They viewed several listings, all remotely, due to the pandemic, and when they serendipitously laid eyes on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a> it was love at first sight. Though they continued the search after seeing that listing, they knew <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a> was for them. Gary explained with clear certainty, “We rapidly came to the conclusion that there was no competition. Everything about the vessel was absolutely gorgeous, I would come to learn after my initial captivation that she actually is a true work of art. So we decided to pursue it and actually put an offer on her without ever having seen her in real life.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203394/image/large-0f4213a09ef8870f3c90deb5617c99ea.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203394">While describing her as a “work of art” may seem to be hyperbole, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a> is quite literally a work of art. When she was built, her interior designer, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2472" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="David Ostrander (Company)">David Ostrander</a>, worked symbiotically &nbsp;with Todd Hutchinson, the original owner’s art curator, to craft a cohesive interior that was inextricable from the dozens of precious artworks on board. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a>’s aesthetic appeal was one of the factors most attractive to Gary. “When I first stepped foot on board, I was drawn to her immediately because I thought her interior looked great, but then once I spent time with the curator, I started to understand why it felt so great, how it was put together and why.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203395/image/large-3494e93e297a7c790e0991daaccddc13.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203395">The prominence of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a>’s meticulously crafted collection is evident the moment you step on board. Though relatively new to the world of art, thanks to his intrigue for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a>’s collection, Gary has since developed a knowledge of art history and is excited by the opportunity to work with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a>’s original curator on acquiring new pieces to replace those taken away by her first owners.When asked which artwork is his favourite, Gary laughs: “It’s really difficult to choose just one piece from the extensive collection because though each piece exists individually, they really exist as a whole collection. Each and every piece tells a story and complements one another”. However, when pressed for an answer, he highlighted a collection of pieces, with a clear leader emerging: the four original Hans Hofmann ink drawings located in the main saloon. The drawings, penned by ‘the father of abstract expressionism’ in the 1930s, depict summertime on the Cote D’Azur and evoke a close connection to the sea. “It’s an indescribable feeling to see those drawings knowing that they were penned by Hofmann and to see them surrounded by the open sea. You’re really able to bring to life what he put on paper so long ago.” Additional notable pieces on board include limited edition prints such as Shipboard Girl by Roy Lichtenstein and the more recent Ada With Sunglasses by Alex Katz. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203396/image/large-020520193c0d8cae3b260450c50b0a9c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203396">Though impressive, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a>’s art collection is not her only conversation-worthy aspect.

She just feels so solid and imbues a true sense of freedom when you’re out at sea.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203399/image/large-0c6b1cf3722cce1eeb02b92b68679625.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203399">Having already been to the Caribbean and cruised the coast of Florida with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SnowbirD39.0m (127'11&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2010">Snowbird</a>, Gary and Susan are excited to continue to explore new places.

We can go wherever we want. We have no boundaries.”When asked where he was most excited to go, he responded, “There are countless ‘most beautiful places in the world’. There are so many places that are equally beautiful, in their own way, I don’t think you have to look for the best. Don’t close your doors looking for the best.
