About Us

The 2011 Bruin EDHEC Team is comprised of current undergrads and recent alumni of the UCLA Sailing Team. The UCLA Sailing Team is a small group of active, dedicated, and passionate students who compete in the Intercollegiate Sailing Association on 14ft Flying Juniors and continuously qualify for the Pacific Coast Championship. The team is a club sport; although we come from one of the world’s best public institutions, we do not receive enough funding to exist without member dues and personal donations. Practices are held two to three times per week at the Marina Aquatic Center in Marina del Rey.

This website highlights our participation in the Course Croisière EDHEC (CCE) - the largest student run sporting competition in Europe. The CCE is an annual event organized entirely by students of the EDHEC Business School in Lille, France. The week-long regatta takes place each Spring in the chilly French Atlantic waters.

April 3rd Practice

Hey guys!

We managed to get everyone (except for Kassie, who is a working woman) on the same boat this past weekend for a race from Newport to Dana Point! Woo!  We ended up getting 3rd due to being over early at the start, but it was a beautiful day of sailing and the 2.5 hour race back to Dana Point could not have been better.  We had dolphins swimming at our bow, and even saw some whales!  We took a bunch of photos that I'm working on editing...I'll leave you with one shot of the group in front of the boat at the end of the day:



As always, a big thanks to Biff, Russ and Page for taking us out. One week until EDHEC!
