Diane Hanrahan and Criostoir McCormack, fanatical sailors from Howth, would love to combine their love of sailing with a business idea, so they travel to Croatia to help run a yachting holiday company.

Criostoir has his own plumbing business and Diane has worked in the Mater Private Hospital for 18 years. They both feel that they are at a stage in their lives where they would love to escape the rat race and run a business that would involve sailing in a hot climate all year round.

Diane and Criostoir get hands on experience as they lead a flotilla and look after 40 holiday makers but it’s not all plain sailing when the Croatian winds change and Diane and Criostoir have to cope with inexperienced sailors.
