2018 Dinghy Delta Ditch Regatta : Lake Washington Sailing Club
 

About Event

NOTICE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE CLOSING OF THE RIO VISTA BRIDGE.
 
The Lake Washington Sailing Club invites you to its 14th annual Dinghy Delta Ditch Regatta on Saturday August 11, 2018 -- a 30-mile race from Rio Vista to West Sacramento up the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel. It promises a long downwind run on a flood current pushing the boats upriver to the LWSC clubhouse. Warm water means leaving the wetsuit at home and cool Delta breezes keep the temperatures in check on this unique race.
 
The course takes the average dinghy about 6-hours to complete in light to normal conditions. After racing, a BBQ party will follow at the clubhouse.

    Racers, First, the bad news. The Rio Vista Bridge broke down last night and the Coast Guard has sent word that there will be no raisings on Saturday. We cannot hold the regatta because the launch site is south of the bridge. We regret this last-minute change of plans and apologize for any inconveniences caused you. Now, the better news. We invite you to join us on Saturday, August 11, at Lake Washington Sailing Club in West Sacramento for a fun sailing afternoon, dinner and party. By 2 p.m., we will have marks set for several courses, including a channel mark far enough down channel to allow a long run and gybe back. The dinner, party and band will begin at 6 p.m. and go until after 8:00 p.m. Costs? As registered racers, we will refund all your fees. The fun sailing afternoon, dinner and party are on us!
