Delta Ditch RunJune 4, 2016 We always look forward to the Delta Ditch Run, a 67.5-mile race from Richmond YC to Stockton Sailing Club. There are typical years, with warm breeze in the 20s and gusts to 30, mostly from aft. Then there are the atypical years, which have ranged from a beat in the rain (a very slow way to get to Stockton) to the very windy years, with gusts to 40 (very fast if your mast survives). The 26th DDR was unusual for lack of wind. Fortunately, a strong flood current carried fleet members through the dead zones. See www.stocktonsc.org for results.
