Joining the club: process & pricing
Types of membership and their privilegesSocial: restricted membership for current UBC Students only. This only allows you to join our on-land events. Full membership (Student or General) grants the following privileges:
New member?Full UBC Sailing Club membership is open to students and general community members. Follow these steps to join the club and get on the water with us. 1. Register and pay for UBC Sailing Club membership
Note: Falsely claiming to be a student during the membership application causes financial harm to our volunteer-run club and shows disregard to all other members. In failing to provide Proof of Enrollment in a timely manner when requested, a member resigns their membership, forfeits their membership fee and work deposit, and will be subject to other penalties (such as additional financial penalties and/or the inability to rejoin the club for a certain duration) as seen fit by the Steering Committee. 2. Sign the e-waiver that is emailed to the address you used to register on the website. If you do not see the e-waiver in your inbox, check your junk folder. It may take up to an hour to arrive. Once you sign this waiver your membership will be processed and approved. 3. Register and pay for Jericho Sailing Centre Association (JSCA) membership (note for families: JSCA offers family pricing and junior pricing for their membership)
After you get certified on a fleet, enjoy unlimited access! Your JSCA membership card grants you access to the club room for that fleet, once certified. Questions? Check our Frequently Asked Questions.

Gaining Access to Fleets (Full members only)Lessons & Mentoring Members who are new to sailing, kayaking, windsurfing or paddleboarding, must take beginner lessons before using our fleets. We offer many beginner lessons throughout the spring and summer. You can sign up for lessons during the registration process or at any point afterwards by checking our lessons calendar. We also have a mentoring program that allows you to progress on a craft through one-on-one learning from another member. Proficiency Exams Members with previous experience sailing or kayaking, may take a proficiency exam to access a fleet instead of lessons. An instructor will ask you to demonstrate certain skills on the water and determine if you have the required ability to get certified on our fleet. |
After passing a lesson, mentoring checklist, or proficiency exam you are allowed to access club rooms and take out that fleet and the corresponding "lower level fleets". For example, if you pass the Advanced 1 sailing proficiency exam, you may use our intermediate and beginner boats as well. Before you can use any equipment you need to record your Jericho card number in your UBC Sailing Club account. This is very important as your Jericho card gives you access to our different equipment rooms. If the number on your Jericho card has worn away from time at sea, there is a card reader attached to an LCD screen just to the left of the main club room that can also be used to determine your Jericho card number. You may need to swipe multiple times to get a good read and ensure all characters displayed are numeric digits, it will prepend "61" to the number (although this sometimes reads as ">1"); the final 5 digits should match the back of your Jericho card. Once certified by an instructor and with your Jericho card number saved to your UBC sailing account, you have unlimited access to the equipment and may take it out as many times as you wish, free of charge. |
