Delta Doo Dah
The Delta Doo Dah is Latitude 38's Do-It-Yourself summertime Cruising Rally to the California Delta — a sailing vacation right in your own backyard. Latitude offers events, tips and tricks, swag, prizes and the opportunity to meet, sail, and socialize with other fleet members. Check out our hosts and prizes for 2022.
Delta Doo Dah fleet members join a community of sailors taking to the waterways of the California Delta during the summer months, enjoying warm weather and an escape from urban life. Registration is now closed for 2022. Check back in early 2023 for information about Delta Doo Dah 15.
