Tamar Marine Blockbuster Weekend Regatta 2021 - Day 1 by Jane Austin 27 Feb 18:56 UTC 27-28 February 2021
The 21st anniversary of the Tamar Marine Blockbuster Weekend has got off to a flying start at the Port Dalrymple Yacht Club on the Tamar River in northern Tasmania.
The regatta has attracted a record number of entries with sailors making the event the largest off-the-beach regatta in Tasmania this season.
PDYC Commodore, Greg Rowsell, is thrilled with the event so far. We are very pleased with the number of entries, 72 in total, and how the Classes are getting behind this event. There is a strong sense of camaraderie and participation across all of the Classes and a melting pot of experience with sailors keen to share their knowledge with the younger sailors, said Rowsell.

that s a very interesting fashion choice for kate then. kind of risky for her. she goes for classical, chic, timeless elegant pieces. and sarah s a lot more whimsical, more dramatic. it could be something fashion forward. it s a bit edgy but i like it. this is amazing. also by the way i love the fact that it s a tip of the hat to the creative designer that was alexander mcqueen. genius. very british. very british. the theme remains very british. this couple wants to show the world, they know the whole world is watching, they are very british and this say british event. the by choosing sarah burton, if she has, it s evidence that she s a modern bride and they re a modern couple. let s bring in vera wang, remarkable designer. what do you make of today of what you have seen and the possibility of this designer for the dress? as you know, there s been so much hoopla about what she s
next year and also in getting us the soccer world cup and various other things. the pair of them have become quite good friend through sport. i d imagine victoria and kate will be discussing fashion at the party later. let s talk about weddings. sarah, how much organization does something like this take to put together? stratospheric organization. this must seem like a nightmare. i tell you why this is a nightmare for me, they ll come to me and say, i want what the they had. you can t put a price on this. i can t hire bucking hall palace, westminster abbey, i can t get you a household cavalry escort. that is why this is a fairy tale. even the best people in the world can t get you this. you can t even put a price on it because they own all this stuff. they own the carriages.
i think that might be a philip treacy hat. i think that is a victoria beckham dress. 2 billion pairs of eyes, big ka-ching moment for victoria beckham. they are very stylish. becks looks good there. we re joined by sarah hayward, world renowned wedding adviser. i believe we ll see rowan atkinson. elton john. josh stone, the singer. guy ritchie, the director, former husband of madonna. how do the beckhams know prince william, do we know? through the world cup bid, the soccer world cup bid. they first got to know each other there. they re also working together for the olympics next year here. they helped get the olympic bid for us. it becomes head of the soccer federation here. the olympics are in london
