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. All of our boats have Viking names.
TYRA – 34′ Bavaria Cruiseboat

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 superb flexibility in sail trim and adjustments.
Number in fleet: 5
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.
