Two-and-a-half million euro could snag you a stunning home right on the waterside in the Summercove area of Kinsale.

The Anchorage dates from the Victorian era when it was home to a British navy admiral. In more recent times, Hollywood star Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and film director Patrick O'Connor called it their address.

Today it’s a luxury three-bed, three-storey waterfront property with a blend of traditional and modern styling that maximises its space to the fullest — not to mention magnificent views over the West Cork harbour from its many windows.

Viewing is by appointment with agents Engel & Voelkers, who have more on this property HERE.

New York Yacht Club’s biennial Invitational Cup

Ireland has a proud history in New York Yacht Club’s biennial Invitational Cup, with Irish participation from the very start and a podium result in 2019.

In 2009, two Irish Clubs,  Royal St. George in Dun Laoghaire and Royal Cork in Crosshaven, entered into New York's newest sailing competition that was reminiscent of Newport’s America’s Cup days when 19 yacht club teams from 14 nations descended on this “City by the Sea”.

The Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup is a competition between yacht clubs, with strict eligibility rules ensuring that each team is comprised exclusively of amateur sailors.

The competition, which was first run in 2009, has drawn entries from 49 clubs from 22 nations on all six inhabited continents.

The New York Yacht Club won the inaugural event in 2009, with the Royal Canadian Yacht Club winning in 2011 and 2013, England's Royal Thames Yacht Club winning in 2015 and Southern Yacht Club from New Orleans winning in 2017.

In 2019 the regatta was sailed for the first time in the New York Yacht Club’s fleet of IC37 yachts, and Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, from Australia, became the first Southern Hemisphere club to win the trophy. And it was in this edition that Anthony O’Leary’s Royal Cork team took the bronze medal.
