Announcing the Delta Doo Dah Deux

Last summer, we launched what we’d hoped would be a well-received rally from the Bay to the Delta. The idea was to encourage sailors to explore their own backyard, and to provide a cruise-out that was doable for the average working stiff who could only take a week’s vacation. The response from Bay sailors was tremendous — we ‘sold out’ all 30 spots in just three days! As eager as the participants were to sign up, we expected the inaugural Delta Doo Dah to be a good time, but the event surpassed our wildest expectations.

From the kick-off party at Richmond YC the night before the start to the final Doo Dah Hoopla party hosted by Stockton Sailing Club, the Delta Doo Dah was a rally to remember.

We’re happy to announce that registration for the Delta Doo Dah Deux is now officially open. Due to conflicts with a couple of high-profile Hawaii races, we moved the dates to July 31-August 6 — the week after the YRA Second Half Opener. Registration is still just $49 and includes a burgee and one t-shirt (you can order your crews’ shirts at the same time as you register). Though it’s too early to confirm all we have planned for this year’s rally, we are thrilled to tell you that Stockton Sailing Club has once again agreed to host the final Hoopla party. Keep track of all the goings-on at www.deltadoodah.com, but in the meantime, don’t dawdle in signing up — even though we’ve expanded the entry list to 50 boats, we suspect every slot will be filled by the end of the week. See you in the Delta!
