Jericho Sailing Centre

Location: Vancouver, Canada

Jericho Sailing Centre is Vancouver's community centre for small naturally powered watercraft, at 1300 Discovery Street on Jericho Beach on the south shore of English Bay. The building dates from 1940, when it was the Marine and Stores Building of RCAF Station Jericho Beach. After the military left in 1969 and the city took over the land, sailors from the UBC and Viking sailing clubs persuaded officials to spare the derelict structure, and the Jericho Sailing Centre Association was established in 1974 to run it. The centre now serves about 25,000 visitors a year with boat, board and kayak rentals, craft storage, lessons and camps through resident operators, racing programs, showers, a members' lounge, rooftop deck and The Galley restaurant.
