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.

Welcome!

The 2010 Bruin Edhec Team is excited to present our official website and blog! Keep an eye on this site for updates on our fundraising progress, company sponsorships, media coverage, promotional photos and videos, and the overall progress of our trip to France.

The team has been working especially hard lately, meeting multiple times a week to send out emails to potential company sponsors. We've had a few positive responses, including a team discount on Patagonia gear and potential product donations from All Terrain! We're continuing to email outdoor performance companies in hopes that one will want to partner with us and provide monetary sponsorship for the CCE. If you have any ideas of companies who could benefit from international exposure to European youth/sailors in particular, please leave a comment and let us know!


Also: new UCLA Sailing Team apparel is on the way! We are in the process of ordering polo shirts, and will have order forms available shortly. We will keep you updated! Here's a sneak peek of the design, just so you can start getting excited:

More news soon!
