FOUST Newsletter: December 2011

The 2007 women's team at Women's PCCs in Hawaii. Help out the current lady Bruins to compete this spring in Keehi Lagoon!

Dear Friends,

Happy holidays and happy new year from FOUST! I hope the season finds you all well.

November saw just one regatta for the team, with the Thanksgiving holiday interruption. PCCSC Fall Champs (otherwise known as North/South) was held in Santa Barbara harbor, with the team finishing a solid 8/21 overall.

As many of us all-too-painfully remember, running a club team is possibly the most difficult aspect of the sport (alright, some of those St. Francis regattas may take a close second). We’d like to introduce a few of the “my real major was sailing” members this year– the two Co-Captains, Billy Edwards and Emelia Pelliccio, team Treasurer Erica Parker, Safety Officer Judge Ryan, and Social Chair Amy Stuyvesant.

We’re also bringing you a highlight of alumnus Jed Olenick (written by recent grad Drew Morton). Jed has been very supportive of the team with his time (and, apparently, pizzas), and also incredibly generously bought the team their brand new trailer last year.

Lastly, no FOUST newsletter would be complete without letting you know what we need money for next! The team’s next fundraising goal is covering airfare for the ladies to go to Women’s PCCs in Hawai’i this coming spring.

FOUST Newsletter: July 2011

Alumni, current team members, parents, and friends at the 2011 UCLA Sailing Team Alumni Regatta.

Dear Friends,

It was great to see so many of you at our third annual alumni regatta on May 21. This newsletter includes a recap of the regatta, and profiles of the graduating class of 2011 (congrats guys!). This month’s featured alum is Kevin Richards (’00), and we also have a warm welcome to Alison Saarela, the newest addition to the FOUST community.

We held elections for FOUST officers at the regatta, and Lyzz Schwegler has taken over as President. Neha Bazaj (’10) and Emily Klopstein (’00) are sticking around for another year as Treasurer and Secretary, respectively. I’ve shifted to Vice President, and we’re happy to welcome Drew Morton (’11) as our new Team Liaison! Big thanks to Taryn Aguiar (’10) for liaising for the past year.

FOUST Newsletter: May 2011

Dear Friends,

Lyzz here, your friendly FOUST Vice President! I’m filling in for Sam while he takes care of his first year law school finals here at Berkeley. I know I know, it’s only his first year, how hard can it be?!

It’s been a super exciting month for the UCLA Sailing Team. The Bruins finished third in the coed Pacific Coast Championships, qualifying them for the national championship semifinals, where they took eleventh in the eastern fleet! UCLA took fifth at team race PCCs in Redwood City, and also fifth at women’s PCCs in Santa Barbara – only one spot out of qualifying position for women’s nationals.

Most recently, UCLA sailors were named in each of the three categories of the All-PCCSC team: Judge Ryan (’14) as a coed skipper, Erica Parker (’14) as a crew, and team captain Carmen Bozina (’11) as a women’s skipper. Carmen was also nominated for the district’s sportsmanship award. Big congratulations to these amazing sailors and the rest of the team on an incredible 2010-2011 season! We’re so proud!

Fall 2010 Newsletter

Hi everyone,

In this issue, we’ve got a new fundraising goal, an alumni barbeque (!!!) in the Bay Area, upcoming fall regattas, and profiles of the UCLA Sailing Team officers for 2010-2011.

We’d love to see everyone who can make it at the barbeque on October 3, hosted by a local alumnus. We also want to get as many alumni out to support the team at the Stoney Burke Regatta on October 16 and 17.

Hope you’ve all had a great summer with a lot of chances to get out on the water!
