Charlie Barr was born in Gourock, Scotland in 1864 and first apprenticed as a grocer before working as a commercial fisherman. In 1884, he took a job with his older brother John, delivering a sailing yacht, ''Clara'', to America. ''Clara's'' racing success was such that in 1887, John was selected to skipper the Scottish challenger, ''Thistle'', the representative of the Royal Clyde Yacht Club; Charlie served as a member of the crew. ''Thistle'' was soundly defeated by ''Volunteer''. In the process, however, the brothers Barr were introduced to Nathanael Herreshoff, and Charlie Barr's yachting career was launched. Charlie Barr would sail Herreshoff designs for much of the rest of his professional sailing life.
