Delta Doo Dah Entry List

Spinnakers can be put to great use on the Delta Doo Dah.

Last Monday, registration for the Delta Doo Dah Fab 4 opened when ‘Lectronic Latitude was posted. In an attempt to level the playing field for everyone who wanted to join in some hot summer revelry in the Delta, we used a lottery system to select the 50 boats that would fill out the roster, and in the 12 hours the registration page was open, over 100 boats threw their names into the hat.

Who needs to go swimming when you have waterfights like this?!

The next day, the Doodettes used a random number generator to assign each entry their position on the roster or waiting list. Statistics never were our strong suit but we found it interesting that the result of that random assignment yielded a final list that’s split 50/50 between veterans of previous Doo Dahs and newbies. Life being what it is, there will almost certainly be a handful of dropouts before the start of the event on July 28, which means those on the waiting list aren’t necessarily out of the running, but below you’ll find this year’s confirmed fleet for the Fab 4.

Kids (of all ages) love the Delta.

If your name’s not listed, don’t get down; get up — up-Delta, that is. Many Bay Area yacht clubs plan Delta cruise-outs, and if you can’t make one of those, there’s nothing stopping you from organizing your own Delta cruise. We’ll see you up there!

She’s indeed a paradox, meaning she defies reason, for she’s a cruising boat built on a chassis, as it were, of an ORMA 60 racing trimaran, one of the fastest, wildest and most fragile racing classes ever.
