Racing Trimaran Cleared From Jetty at Redknapps’ Sandbanks Estate

A local recovery company refloated the 50-foot Three Cheers after it lost power beneath the newly built jetty.

Overview

  • The Three Cheers lost engine power in strong Poole Harbour winds and became wedged under Harry and Sandra Redknapp’s private jetty.
  • Poole Lifeboat volunteers and Coastguard teams confirmed all four crew members disembarked safely without injury.
  • After initial search and safety checks, a specialist recovery firm was summoned to extricate the vessel intact.
  • The incident struck at the base of the Redknapps’ under-construction Italianate villa on Sandbanks, which replaces their former £7 million house.
  • Construction on the three-storey, five-bedroom waterfront home continues on schedule with an anticipated £12 million valuation upon completion.
