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.

Home! and Final Results

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know we made it home safe and sound, after an exhausting 24+ hours of traveling (5 hours from Lorient to Paris, 2 hours of sleep, 2 hour flight to Amsterdam, 10 hour flight to Memphis, 4 hour flight to LAX...)

Also, something changed with the scores so we wanted to correct our last post-- while we were in 19th place Friday morning, we somehow got bumped to 20th in the final results. Not a big deal though, we are still so happy to have made top 20 this year!  We're confident that next year's team can do even better :)

Photos will have to wait until I have more sleep in me and I'm not failing my classes...but keep an eye out for some photo posts in the near future.

Goodnight!
