The Viking Sailing Club is currently open to new members! Join our club, learn to sail, have a blast and meet new people. Our season begins in March. Membership is limited so join us and learn to sail today.
Rates
The Viking Sailing Club is a co-operative ‘not-for-profit’ and entirely volunteer run, which is why our rates are some of the best at Jericho. Our club relies on the participation and enthusiasm of its members to assist in running the club and keep membership rates as low as possible. Members contribute to our successes – all we ask for is a minimum of 2 hours of your time.

Applying
To apply, fill in the application form and send to our membership officer, together with a cheque for the appropriate amount. If membership is full your uncashed cheque will be returned and you will be added to the waiting list. Our membership roster usually fills early in the season.
All information on payment, waiver, and where to send your application are on the membership form.
A printable Viking Sailing Club brochure is also available.
Membership Cap
To ensure members excellent access to sailing opportunities, we limit the number of members. Present members and associates have priority over the waiting list until the end of February, at which time we accept new members. Once the club is full, interested applicants are added to our waiting list for the opportunity to join the following year or earlier should someone cancel.
Contact
If you have any questions please feel free to contact our membership officer. If you like you can also arrange a meeting at our club room at the Jericho Sailing Centre (view our club room location) to check out our boats and the club room for yourself.
