Commodore Larry Robertie

A member of PCYC since 2006, Larry has quickly become an active member of the club.  He lives in Peabody and together with his wife, Tricia, enjoys sailing his Catalina 34 Ruach out of Salem harbor. During the summer they take advantage of day sailing opportunities as well as overnight cruising from Narragansett Bay to Maine. Their favorite sailing experiences have been on annual extended cruises of one to two weeks. Although... he has said that sometimes it's nice to just sit at the mooring, watch the sun go down, and count his lucky stars.

He grew up at the Club, and has a few tales to tell (like about his stowing away on some members' boats as a boy). Rich and Patti's son, Matthew, is also a member of PCYC. Their boat, a 30' SeaRay Weekender, is the Duke of Oil (in 1988 Richie and his brothers started Morneau Brothers Oil).
