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.

Thanks!


One week to go!! As we’re cramming to get our classes squared away, buying our last pieces of gear, and going over the fundamentals of sailing, we’d like to take a moment to thank those who have helped us get here:
First, a huge thank you to Zhik Sailing Gear, which generously donated shorts and shirts, as well as extending a significant discount on equipment to our team.
Also to SailFast, which has given our team a discount on attire and provided sailing shirts for on the boat.
Finally, our thanks to Sound Boatworks, which donated hats to us. We are extremely excited about this trip, and we thank you all for helping us make it all possible.
Check back next week, we will be updating often from France!
