Review from Jack S.

JSCA is a fantastic organization with a great facility located in the perfect location. Really great events to support the local sailing / windsurfing community such as regular racing on Tuesday evenings and Sundays as well as periodic larger regattas - all for the small boats that JSCA supports - dinghies and catamarans. Really excellent staff help the clubs at JSCA support their goals and events and a very well maintained facility. Hard to be critical of these guys.
Not to be confused with The Galley Patio and Grill (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) which is the restaurant located upstairs at the JSCA offering fantastic views, cold beers and decent pub fare (tho a bit pricey). This restaurant is an added gem and makes for the perfect end to a day of sailing sitting in the sun on the balcony sharing a pitcher.
Check the JSCA website for a list of the clubs at the center or just come down and rent a boat for the day or take a lesson at Mac Sailing.
Excellent and welcome community at the JSCA! -

I wholeheartedly agree with everything said about the Jericho Sailing Centre. Walking down Jericho beach you run past about a million fenced in private docks and fancy looking clubs it would be hard to be a part of but, for even the biggest newbie the Sailing centre is open and welcoming.
I work with a singles company and we often take groups here to go windsurfing and kayaking through their associate businesses and the fact that they offer facilities for these as well as sailing proves just how open they are. There's barely even a touch of snootiness in the whole place and that's reflected in the staff, the fun decor and especially the reasonable prices for membership and docking fees.
Beyond just the attitude, the centre itself also features a wonderful little pub/restaurant that has a great view of the ocean. Once my group was forced to quit kayaking early but luckily the great food and view while we ate made up for it and by the end, nobody cared our trip had been cut short.
On beaches where the facilities are either too gross or too snooty, the Jericho Sailing Centre is just right! -

this place rocks..where else can you sit above the sand on a deck having a beer wearing your swimsuit. the menu has expanded as of late and I'm dying to try the fish tacos. We sometimes beach our Zodiac and step up for a burger and a brew. Great bison burgers as well as beef. Everything is served in reusable baskets and plastic cups. Order at the counter and wait for them to call your order.
Also want to try the "black and blue" burger..you take a guess about what's in that!!. for an casual patio this is the one. From the beach to the belly -

My parents have more boats than children, which has meant a childhood of sailing on the ocean. So in moving to the west coast a few years back, my biggest lament was that I'd be so close to an ocean and unable to sail it.
Thankfully, the Jericho Sailing Centre is all about access. It's no snooty, pricey yacht club. The annual membership is a steal at $72, but you can also rent kayaks, windsurfers, or sail boats through the center's affiliate businesses. An hour rental of a windsurfer comes in under $20. Rescue charges are extra, though, for those who over-estimate their abilities.
For a alternative fun day at the beach, the Jericho Sailing Center has plenty of rental and lesson options. Unless you're a land lubber. -

OK I do keep a boat here, but it's a pitcher of beer and nachos at the end of a day of sailing on the deck that keeps me coming back. Or a breakfast and paper in the morning waiting for my sailing buddies to show up, watching the launch activity going on below me. This is the best waterfront dining in Vancouver, its open to the public but we like to keep it to ourselves, oh and I do sail my cat when the winds are right.

I am a big fan of the beer and burger by the beach!
