We have some extra T-shirts and burgees. They will be available for sale during the kickoff party. $15 each includes sales tax!

Our T-shirts and burgees have arrived from Pirate's Lair. They are awesome of course! We will be stuffing them into the swag bags for each entry.

Sailing Instructions are now available online. A printout will also be stuffed in each swag bag.

A PDF reservation form has been emailed to our fleet for those who want to bring their boats over to Marina Bay Yacht Harbor on July 30. And we've uploaded another Delta Story, Nothin' Doin', from 1981. Rest assured, you can buy ice, food and other supplies in the Delta.

The Itinerary page has been updated with little maps of our venues, and lots of details have been added.

We've updated our Delta Events page. There's plenty to do this summer!

Burgees and T-shirts for Delta Doo Dah Deux have been ordered from Pirate's Lair. We may have a few extra shirts.

Questionnaires and waivers for skippers and crew are now available to download. We need each entry to print them, fill them out, and mail them to us by July 15.

Added a story from the current (June 2010) issue of Latitude 38 to the small but growing list of Delta Stories.

We've added a new section to our Web site: Delta Stories, with links to recent - and not so recent - tales of Delta sailing.

Up through June 21, Doo Dah sailors can pre-order extra T-shirts for their first mate and crew. These are truly awesome gold tie-dye designs from Pirate's Lair - for only $15 each!

If you've registered for this year's event and find that your plans have changed, you can still drop out and request a full refund, but only until noon on Friday, May 14. Email Doodette .

The itinerary for the 2010 Delta Doo Dah is taking shape. Keep an eye on our Itinerary page for developments.

Registration is now closed for the 2010 Delta Doo Dah - we have our fleet of 50! If you are part of the fleet this year, you can still pre-order more T-shirts for your crew through June 21. They'll be new and improved over last year's!
