SWIM and sail and be careful.” That was the advice given to the six children of a family when they fetched up to live on the shores of Cork Harbour 44 years ago. They did what they were told, their lives punted and pivoted about the harbour and “they were always in or on the water.”

Now, while the love of sailing and the sea has been passed on even to grandchildren in this fortunate family, their home which accommodated a lively brood, on 8.5 acres of beautiful grounds, is now setting its sights on new occupants.
