Harry Redknapp gets unwelcome visitor as huge 50ft racing yacht crashes into jetty at the bottom of the garden of his brand new Sandbanks home

Daily Mail​16-07-2025
A huge 50-foot racing yacht crashed into a jetty at the bottom of the garden of Harry Redknapp's brand new Sandbanks mansion.
The vessel was swept towards the north shore of the exclusive peninsula in Poole Harbour by strong winds.
It collided with the wooden pier belonging to the former Tottenham and West Ham manager's next-door neighbour, businessman Nigel Walters.
The four occupants were able to safely step off, but the trimaran, called Three Cheers, remained wedged under the structure.
The Poole lifeboat and Poole coastguard were called out to assist, but the crew ended up calling a local recovery company to remove the boat.
A spokesperson for Poole Lifeboat said: 'A 50ft trimaran was passing through Poole Harbour on passage.
'With no engine at the time, it got into difficulty and ended up aground and wedged under a jetty near North Haven Point.
'The lifeboat volunteers were swiftly on scene and found that the casualties were all ashore, safe and well and did not require assistance.'
Harry and Sandra Redknapp's new Italianate villa is being built on the Sandbanks waterfront.
The couple paid £7million for a 60-year-old house that stood on the plot before bulldozzing it and now the new Italian inspired property sits in its place.
They had spent two years living in a leafy inland suburb of Poole, but it is thought they missed a sea view, so they bought the waterfront property.
The mansion will have spectacular views of Brownsea Island, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The latest photos of the project show that the three-storey villa is quickly taking shape.
The shell and the roof of the mansion have been built with huge gaps in the walls left for the windows and doors.
The back garden is also being formed with the outline of concrete steps leading down to the harbour's edge.
The rectangular building that will be a boathouse has also been constructed.
When it is complete, the luxury villa will have a grand entrance hall, a huge open-plan living/kitchen/dining room, two reception rooms, a study, a boot room and five en suite bedrooms as well as a double garage at the front which will have room for a gymnasium.
The white-rendering to the external walls will be in keeping with properties around Lake Como, as will the Palladian-style columns and four separate balconies with black wrought iron railings.
When finished, the property will be worth about £12million.
When the proposals were first tabled, one neighbour, Alison Wheeler said: 'The proposed building is overpowering. I fear it would feel oppressive.
'The quiet enjoyment of our garden would be seriously impacted by the windows in the new south-west wing. The addition of several ground and first-floor windows... would have a major impact on our privacy.
'It would create shadow in the morning and significantly reduce the light on the south-eastern aspect of our house.'
Another resident, Nicola Bailey, added: 'The proposed development... does not seem to respect the "spacing between plots".'
Chris Shipperley, of ARC Architects, acting for the Redknapps, said the couple had already revised the plans to appease locals, including lowering the property's height and making it narrower.
Luxury properties on the edges of the peninsula have gardens running down to the water and private jetties with direct access to Poole Harbour.

Louis Vuitton to open new workshop in the US, announces Bernard Arnault

Leather goods maker Louis Vuitton, flagship brand of luxury giant LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH), will open a new workshop in the US "to meet demand", LVMH Chief Executive Officer Bernard Arnault said on Thursday. "Louis Vuitton already had a workshop in the US when I arrived at LVMH. Given the development of the house in the US, we opened a new one five years ago. We plan to open another one to meet demand, also in Texas," he announced in an interview with Le Figaro. This new workshop will be near Dallas, where Louis Vuitton already has a workshop. The new workshop, inaugurated in 2019 in the presence of Donald Trump, is expected to be delivered in late 2026 or early 2027, a source close to the matter told AFP. LVMH, which makes 25 percent of its sales in the US, already has three Louis Vuitton workshops and four workshops of the American brand Tiffany & Co. (Tiffany) on US territory. "For our American clients, buying a Louis Vuitton product Made in USA is no problem at all," Arnault said. In May, his competitor François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of Kering, which owns Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, said that "it wouldn't make sense to have Italian Gucci bags made in Texas." During the first round of negotiations on US tariffs in April, Arnault, who had attended Donald Trump's inauguration four months earlier, said that if "we end up with high tariffs, we will have to increase our American production." One month later, he and his son Alexandre were received at the White House by Trump, who called them "very good friends" in the run-up to preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min to join a Major Soccer League team this summer is 8/15 with Sky Bet

Tottenham legend Son Heung-min is attracting a wealth of interest from teams in Saudi Arabia and the USA this summer, having most recently emerged a shock target for Major Soccer League outfit Los Angeles FC. The South Korean, who has now entered the final year of his Spurs deal, is being linked with a move away from north London this summer following the arrival of new manager Thomas Frank from Brentford. As part of Sky Bet's transfer specials market, Son is now favoured to join an MLS club by September 2, which carries odds of 8/15. A move to the Saudi Pro League is deemed the next most likely destination with the bookies, garnering odds of 4/5. Meanwhile, a reunion with former Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce could be on the cards, with Sky Bet giving that scenario odds of 7/2. Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United and Liverpool round out the top six, with odds of 7/2, 12/1 and 18/1 respectively. Sky Bet Special: Son Heung-min to sign for before September 2, 2025 Any MLS club - 8/15 Any Saudi Pro League club - 4/5 Fenerbahce - 7/2 Bayer Leverkusen - 7/2 Man United - 12/1 Liverpool - 18/1
