Delta Doo Dah

June 27-July 3, 2009

What is it?

Last summer, the crews of 30 or so Bay Area boats joined in the inaugural Delta Doo Dah, a laid-back Bay-to-Delta ‘rally’ we dreamed up over a bottle of champagne at the company Christmas party. The idea was to get folks sailing in their own backyard, and it worked better than we’d hoped.

As summer approaches at lightspeed, we realized that it was time to announce the deets on this summer’s running of the event. Conflicts with a couple of Hawaii races forced us to move the dates a month later so Delta Doo Dah Deux will be held July 31-August 6. The entry fee is just $49, and includes a burgee and t-shirt. Stockton Sailing Club will once again host the Doo Dah Hooplah on Friday, August 6, leaving folks the weekend to make it back to the Bay. Other stops and events will be announced on here as they’re confirmed.

Last year we limited the number of entries to 30 boats to make the fleet manageable. This year, we’re increasing the fleet to 50 boats, but won’t start accepting entries until ‘Lectronic Latitude is posted (usually around noon) on March 15. Better mark your calendars — last year all 30 slots were taken in three days!
