The ex-West Ham and Portsmouth boss spent £7 million ($9m) on the south coast property, with The Sun reporting on how Redknapp and his wife Sandra are building a “dream home” after demolishing the old property that stood on their plot.
Their luxury abode sits on the north shore of Millionaire’s Row, in the exclusive waterfront Sandbanks area. Houses there boast gardens running down to the sea, with private jetties providing direct access to Poole Harbour.
While that could be considered an idyllic location, Redknapp has seen a £25,000 triple-hulled racing boat swept into his garden by strong winds. The vessel in question, which is named ‘Three Cheers’, is wedged under the pontoon at the end of Redknapp’s property.
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.”
The prang took place on July 14, with all four members of the crew on board able to step safely back onto shore without the need for any medical attention.
