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.

Saturday

The final night was a lot of fun. We were able to hang out with the international organizers and many of the other teams. At the main party, a famous French singer came out at the end to sing several songs for all of the touranment goers.

This morning we cleaned our room and verfied that our boat was presentable to return.  In about an hour we are off to Paris for the night and tomorrow the flight back to Los Angeles.

We are all sad that it already over, but are sure to have great memories for the rest of our lives.

Again a big thank you to all of our supportors and sponsors. Although the entire team wasn't able to make it out (Eric + Richard had flight problems due to the volcano), we managed do well given the circumstances. Thanks to Leovoile's member Flovian for racing with us!
