Toby & Racing
Toby lived for his racing on the waters of the Fal and for local regattas,
good days out!
Years of winning races - against wooden boats!
The not-so-old crew of Victory
Malley Wales; Les Carne; Boyo Carne; Alun 'Trinket' Davies; Aubrey Chandler; Steve 'Whiffey' Whitford; 'Feety' Spear; Toby West
The Silver Oyster Race
Kenny Corke with his father and an 'ace' crew on Evelyn - winning the November 5th Silver Oyster Trophy
Seeing double - Victory in the Falmouth Harbour Race (1998)
Toby knew his way around "his harbour" with his eyes shut - "just keep out the way of them tugs!"

Reefed in and... ahead!
A good race in a stiff South-Easterly breeze - Mildred (David Stonehouse) chasing Victory [by AAC circa 1980]
Competition, from friends afloat. Boatbuilder, retired shipwright / Oysterman
and Toby's nephew
Martin Heard helming Meloris, with David Carne and Frank Cock [by AAC circa 1980]

Competition from the Doctor!
Faded (image) perhaps, but Rebecca, Phil Slater, still leads many of the Working Boat races...
and, Rebecca attended the scattering of Toby's ashes by Castle Buoy, on 23 October, 2001.
