DSA Booking Procedures

The 2011 sailing season is over.

Looking ahead to May 2012, this is how the procedure works:

 

 1. Sailing is offered seven times a day, Wednesday through Sunday, at 11am, 12noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm and 5pm.
 2. Individuals can book up to three sails at one time. Groups of three or more can only book one outing at a time.
 3. You must be registered (604-688-6464) and your Disabled Sailing Association membership must be in good standing before you sail. This can be handled before you sail - allow around 20 minutes for registration. (You can speed things along by downloading the registration form and filling it out ahead of time.)
 4. If you plan to sail more than four times, you will be made aware of a Jericho Membership.
 5. On their third sail, people with a Jericho Membership are entitled to book three more sails.

  

   Cost

Annual Membership
(Includes introductory sail for first-time sailors only)
$10   Adult Jericho Sailing Membership (required after four sails) $83
Individual sails $10   Child Membership $49

 

 Booking information

The DSA sailing program is extremely popular, and we can only have a limited number of people on the water at any one time. If you want to sail, you must book in advance.

In the interest of fairness, groups – which is anyone representing three or more people - can only book one outing at a time. However, on the day of sailing you can book your next visit.

For individuals, we require a minimum of a four-hour notice of cancellation, otherwise you will be required to pay $10 for the missed sail next time you participate.

For groups, we require a minimum of 24-hours notice of cancellation, otherwise you will be required to reimburse DSA-BC.

 

   Essential items

We encourage you to be prepared for anything when going out sailing. It’s a good idea to bring:

Light sweater    Wind jacket
Waterproof jacket   Gloves
Rain gear
 (we have ‘wet suits’ if needed)
  Sun lotion
Sun hat   Sunglasses
Toque   Towel
   


 

   Parking

Pay parking is available adjacent to the DSA office.
