She cut and stitched every one of them with her own hands. The dress she changed into for the reception was trimmed in plumes, and the whole of it came to roughly seventeen dollars. That is the number that gives the day its shape: a feathered gown, worn to the party, made for https://theamericanset.com/what-they-sail/four-cabins-three-heads-service-log-starts-delivery-hatteras-gt65-comes/ https://theamericanset.com/what-they-sail/four-cabins-three-heads-service-log-starts-delivery-hatteras-gt65-comes/ Thu, 15 Oct 2026 00:25:06 +0000 What They Sail A Hatteras GT65 is now available through brokerage, and the detail that will matter most to a buyer is how it has been kept. The boat's upkeep has been in professional hands from the day it left the builder, which is the kind of record an owner can read before ever stepping aboard. Below decks the 65-footer is laid out with four cabins and three heads, enough to carry a family and guests on a long https://theamericanset.com/what-they-sail/itamas-new-70-pairs-three-cabins-near-40-knot-top-end/ https://theamericanset.com/what-they-sail/itamas-new-70-pairs-three-cabins-near-40-knot-top-end/ Thu, 15 Oct 2026 00:24:40 +0000 What They Sail Itama has introduced a 70-foot model that puts the emphasis where owners who run their own boats tend to want it: on deck, in the sun, and at speed. The builder reports a top end that comes close to 40 knots, which puts a Palm Beach to Bimini crossing comfortably inside a single morning.

The gown is Chanel, made specifically for her, and designed to echo the sparkling dress she wore to the 1997 Oscars.

The producer's new collection for CB2 is modeled on the residence he and Alicia Keys share, a house that now serves as the reference point for an entire catalog.
