Charlie McCarthy
MBIYC Commodore 1999-2000

Taken from the 1999-2000 MBIYC Yearbook

Charlie was born on a farm in Wyandot County, near Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Charlie and his wife Sharon own the McCarthy Corporation and with the help of the three children, Chris, Susan and Kathryn, who are also MBIYC members, operate a grain farming operation, along with other business interests in the Upper Sandusky and Tiffin areas.

Charlie bought his first boat around 1955; it was a leaky Lyman and after several excursions on the Sandusky River, he traded it for a used 16 gauge Mossberg shotgun. In the mid-seventies, he and Sharon purchased a 22' Sea Ray and launched their boating career. Over the years, they have moved to bigger boats and enjoyed many years of boating and fun and have met many great people along the way.

In the mid-nineties, through friends, they were introduced to the Middle Bass Island Yacht Club. The Middle Bass Island Yacht Club has been a great experience. We have made many new friends and have met many fine people. It is an honor and a privilege to have served as Commodore of the finest and fastest growing yacht club on Lake Erie.
