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.

Thursday Update with Pictures!

Bonjour tous!

We did two races today. A tactical race in which we placed midfleet and an epic coastal race around the Brest region.  We caught some lucky wind and were leading the pack for a leg, but made a poor decision down a spinnaker stretch which pushed us back some. The wind picked up again torwards the end of the day, and we were pushing over 7.5 knot going upwind.  Tonight we made some punch to give out to the other international teams in 'le club inter' as the Canadians made pancakes! It was a North American taste.  (orginally we were suppose to make a chili with OCU).

Only one more day of racing before the finals! The CCE 42 is flying by fast.

OKAY and finally some pictures!


(the internet is super slow so unfortunately we cant get all the photos up but we will try again soon!!)
