Dan Delave (68) passed away peacefully at his home in Long Beach, CA surrounded by friends and family on December 8, 2024 after a one year battle with cancer.
Dan’s journey on the water started with surfing and then later onto sailing where he was a test pilot for the Hobie tri-foiler and a competitor in many fleets including the F18 catamaran class. He was always looking to go faster and create friends, whether it was a new class on the starting line or through his proud leadership as Commodore of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club.
Most recently his passion was wing foiling that challenged him the most, and while getting old sucks, he ignored it being a young man’s sport. Dan was forever young at heart.
In his wake he left his loving wife Eileen, his brother and sister, extended family and many friends from a lifetime in and around the water. Sail on Dan!
