Crumpler Partnership!

The UCLA Sailing Team Edhec Participiants are excited to announce the support of Crumpler Bags!

Crumpler is an internationally recognized bag making company. It was created by three bike messengers, Dave Roper, Will Miller and Stuart Crumpler in Melbourne Australia in 1995 in response to a need for durable and visible bags that was not being met. Looking to branch into other markets, Crumpler began designing bags for laptops, photo and video equipment and all kinds of e-vices.

The Bruin Edhec Team is proud to have the support of Crumpler Bags! Thank you Crumpler!

GG+A Sponsorship Confirmed!

Grenzebach Glier and Associates, an international consulting firm specializing in philanthropic management to educational and cultural institutions, has generously donated to the Bruin Edhec team and will be sponsoring us in our endeavors. Thanks, GG+A!

Mar 6 Practice

Jake, Eric, Richard and Victor went back down to Dana Point to sail in the Series #3 & #4.  We finished in 1st in the Series #3 regatta and placed 5th in the Series #4.  It was a bizarre day with sunny pockets in a dark and cloud sky.  Winds gusted up to 15 at some points during the race, but mostly stayed below 10.

Thanks again to Bryant and Bif and their Henderson 30!

Another American Team!

The UCLA Sailing Edhec Team is excited announce the participation of a second American university in the Course Croisiere Edhec!

Oklahoma City University Sailing Club, under the leadership of Glede Holman, is committed to joining us in representing the USA in the 42nd CCE.  They are almost finished securing funding and are motivated to rank well.

The Bruin Edhec Team, because of our flagship participation in the 40th and 41st CCE, is proud to have paved the way for other American universities to participate! We hope to continue to motivate other universities, but it wouldn't be possible without your support, so please help us so that we can continue to lead the international engagement in collegiate sporting events!

Feb 27 Practice

In preparation for the 42nd Course Croisiere Edhec, the UCLA Edhec Team is crewing at local yacht clubs.  Members of the Dana Point Yacht Club have been extremely welcoming in inviting us to sail with them.

This past weekend, Eric, Jake, Richard, and Victor were aboard a Henderson 30.  They were supposed to participate in DPYC's Series #2 Regatta, but the weather and tsunami warning cancelled the race.  In any case, they were able to sail for about an hour in the very choppy and windy Pacific with some great sailors.  A big thank you to Bryant and Bif!

If you're interested in having members of the UCLA Sailing Team crew for you, please contact us! uclasailing(at)gmail.com or sailing(at)ucla.edu

 

Bruins Care

To make a donation and receive a shirt:

- Make a check out to "Partners in Health" for any amount (suggested donation of $10)

- Mail check, return address, and shirt size (S, M, L, XL, XXL) to:

Morgan Glier

We were very disheartened to find out that our initial initaitive to donate to Haiti could not work as conceptualized.  But we are happy to have a creative way to link your support to the UCLA Sailing Team with the relief efforts in Haiti.

Original Statement:

In light of the recent environmental and humanitarian crises, we have decided to contribute 5% of out total personal donations to Partners in Health (Stand with Haiti) in an attempt to make a difference in the Haitian relief effort. We understand that there are issues much larger than ourselves in the world, and it is incredibly important to each of us on the UCLA Sailing Team that we keep these global concerns at the forefront of our thoughts and actions. From our experience raising money for prior CCE regattas, we know that each and every donation helps.


For us, this tournament is beyond being just a regatta; it is truly a one of a kind experience. As the only American team to compete, we have been given the unique opportunity to create and build relationship with diverse student from a diversity of cultures and backgrounds. In time, we hope to be able to use these international networks to connect our ideas and efforts in an attempt to tackle these issues "much larger than ourselves."

Again, we sincerely thank all of our family and friend donors, and of course our business sponsors, and look forward sharing our achievements from the 42nd Course Croisiere Edhec!
