Second Wind: The SNOEK Refit
Noted Newport based nautical photographer and sailor Onne van der Wal talks about his early days in apartheid South Africa where he grew up sailing small boats and working on commercial fishing boats as a teenager. A poor student in high school, Onne’s father encouraged him to attend a trade school and completed a three year apprenticeship as a machinist in Cape Town. His true passion was sailing and after completing his trades education, Onne went on to race large sailboats as a professional crew member and joined the famous Dutch boat, FLYER, in the 1981/82 Whitbread around the world race now known as the Ocean Race. Winning the race was a huge stepping stone to his long and successful ...

      Yes it’s a much cleaner way to get the excees sealer off, a sharp blade leaves a nice straight edge and no messy smearing of the excess. Hey it works for me but my word ain’t gospel.

      A medical situation arose for me quite suddenly, we left the boat in Nassau and underwent treatment in Boston for pancreatic cancer. At some point I’ll complete the series with episode 9 which will be a wrap up and I’ll have a bit more of an explanation of what I was dealing with. Actually episode 9 won’t happen as the whole journey (including the medical part of it) is being made in to a one hour documentary for PBS which will air in the fall of 2024. The cancer came on quite quickly and frighteningly. After more than a year since I was diagnosed and treated I’m doing so much better and am now cancer free, let’s hope it stays away! Thanks for your comments and watch for the PBS special or reach out to me on my website www.vanderwal.com for the documentary’s schedule. Onne

    Just found this, great job Onne! I am staring at the same task on my 1987 42CL. Two questions, if I may 1. I am sure that some of the stripper got into the cracks. Did you do anything in particular to get it out or did the wipe-downs take care of it? Do you see any evidence now that any leftover stripper is causing issues? 2. I am concerned that the sanding will leave the hinges and ring pulls proud of the sole. Did you have to do any chiseling to lower the fit so they are flush with the sole? Thanks in advance!

    Oh man so I basically binge watched all 8 of the snow goose episodes Olle and whatever happened once you hit the Bahamas? Given you’ve got the boat I dream of plus just did the trip I dream of I’m dying for more. I’m convinced I read about your initial purchase years ago in either GB spray magazine or soundings maybe? Either way your cinematography is second to none and each episode was really well produced. What are the odds there are more episodes in the works? If not, what are the odds you’d consider selling SG to me so I can pick up where you left off? Truly you’re a standout in a field of not so good RUclipsrs and im seriously looking to get me an east coast 32. Especially one without the wraparound rails in the cockpit like so many of them have.

    • @Onnevanderwal
      @Onnevanderwal Год назад

      Michael, thanks for your glowing comments on my videos and boat trip. Yes the trip came to screeching halt as I was diagnosed with cancer and had to head to Boston for treatments. I’m 10 days away from being done with treatments since March, a long time! So ready to be done. No more episodes on my RUclips channel but we are working on a 2 part series about the whole Snow Goose story from refit to ICW to Bahamas and the medical story for PBS. So that’s where you will see the whole story and how it continued where I left off with my RUclips series. Hoping to have it air mid 2024. Stay in touch and sorry but I’m not selling Snow Goose, love that little boat. Doing the Great Lakes, Thousand Islands, Ottawa, Montréal and Lake Champlain next summer if all goes well.

    We met in Darien, Ga. wanted to clarify, you were at the Macintosh County docks which provide overnight docking for $1 per ft with Elec and water. Just upstream under the bridge are the City of Darien docks where boats may tie up for free for 48 hours. The City dock is in front of Skippers Fish Camp restaurant. Both docks have 20ft of water and accommodate large 50ft plus yachts. The bridge has about 30 ft clearance. It was a pleasure meeting you.
