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.

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, T-shirt and swag bag. To keep track of the full itinerary as it develops, see our Itinerary page. We'll have some scheduled events, lots of free time for exploring, some nights reserved for the whole fleet at specific marinas, and some nights on the hook or in marinas of your choice. 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.

Last year we limited the number of entries to 30 boats to make the fleet manageable. This year, we increased the fleet to 50 boats, but registration is already closed.
