UBC Try Sailing X Jericho Boat Show Open House

Curious about sailing? Want to see a new side of Vancouver and make the most of the beautiful, vast ocean at our doorstep? Come experience the wind in your sails at our UBC Try Sailing event on Saturday, May 24th from 12:ooH to 16:00H at the Jericho Sailing Centre!

Whether you've never set foot on a boat or you're just looking to get back on the water, this is the perfect (FREE!) opportunity to get your feet wet and try dinghy sailing with experienced members of the UBC Sailing Club. No previous experience required--open to UBC students and the general public!

You will have the chance to sail aboard our RS Quest or Hobie 16 boats with seasoned club sailors, tour the UBC club facilities and learn about our membership options and diverse fleets (including windsurfers, kayaks, SUPs)! This event coincides with the Jericho Sailing Centre's Boat Show and Open House, so you will also be immersed in our vibrant community of water sport-enthusiasts and volunteers, see the Jericho Rescue boats in action, and receive member-discounts at the Galley Patio & Grill!   

IMPORTANT NOTES:
-This event is FREE but early registration is recommended to guarantee a spot. Walk-ins may be accommodated, if space allows.

-All participants must sign our liability waiver upon check-in at our club booth. 

-Be prepared to get wet! Wear clothing that will keep you warm and non-marking shoes that you're ok wearing in the ocean. It's also a good idea to bring a towel and/or change of clothing for after.

Registrants must be at least 18 years old. The club reserves its right to suspend on-water activities to ensure the safety of all participants, depending on weather conditions.
