Located in Vancouver, the Jericho Sailing Centre stands as Vancouver's go-to Ocean Community Centre. On the south shore of English Bay, it offers affordable access to the bay for small naturally powered craft. The centre provides various amenities and programs for sailing, rowing, and paddling fans.
John, the organizer, wants the sports community to know that you can hit the water without owning a boat. Options include renting a boat, board, or kayak, taking lessons, or joining camps offered by professional schools at the centre. For regular access, consider joining one of the clubs and co-ops at the facility; it's a good way to enjoy different watercraft without owning one.
Members have the perks of storing and launching their own or club-owned crafts from the centre. They also get access to showers, change rooms, racing and on-water programs, a member's lounge, a rooftop deck, and discounts at the on-site restaurant. Memberships are available for individuals and families and are among the cheapest in the city.
