DSA Booking Procedures

The 2010 season runs Wednesday, May 26 through Friday, Sep. 3.

Phone DSA-BC at 604-222-3003 to book a sail. This booking office is open from Thursday, May 20.

Here’s some information to make it easier for you:

 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.)
 4. If you plan to sail more than four times, you must purchase a Jericho Membership.
 5. On their third sail, people with a Jericho Membership are entitled to book three more sails.

 Booking information

The DSA-BC 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.
