The Viking Sailing Club prides itself on offering an impressive array of well-maintained sailboats for our members to sail at Jericho beach and in British Columbia. Our boat numbers are carefully balanced against the number of club members to ensure both optimal boat availability and excellent membership rates.
Tasar
Our core boat in the fleet is the Tasar. The Tasar is a fast, responsive, two-person Australian designed dinghy. It’s the boat new members receive their initial training on, as it is great for learning to sail while also having a lot of flexibility in sail trim and adjustments.
Number in fleet: 6
Laser
The single-handed Laser is another fleet favourite. The Laser was designed by Canadian Bruce Kirby and is one of the most successful single-handed sailboats in the world. Sailing the Laser is one of the purest forms of sailing you can experience.

34′ Bavaria Cruiseboat
The Viking Sailing Club is fortunate to own a new 34-foot Bavaria cruise boat. Our flagship boat is named ‘Freya’ and she is available for cruises to all club members at very affordable rates. As the only club at Jericho with a cruising boat, we provide our members with the unique ability to enjoy cruises on English Bay and in British Columbia and the San Juans, as well as the opportunity to progress your sailing skills to cruise boats.

Hobie 16
The Hobie 16 catamaran is the most popular Hobie Cat, both for recreational purposes and as a one-design racer. It is intended to be sailed from the beach through the surf, and to be surfed back in on the waves to the beach.
