@westkirbysc is hosting the 73rd Blueoak Wilson Trophy from Friday 6 May until Sunday 8 May.
A total of 32 teams from the UK, Ireland and the USA will compete for the coveted trophy on the Marine Lake.
The event is widely regarded as the premier team racing event in the world, and attracts the highest calibre of sailor.

Bridge Road in West Kirby has reopened, albeit only one-way at the moment.
Road markings indicate it will be reinstated as a two-way route when the one-way road signs and fixed bollard outside Aldi are removed.
Hoylake Library could be saved after a local community interest company announced plans to bid to take over the site.
The Market Street branch is one of 11 across the borough earmarked for closure as part of £27 million of council budget cuts.
@thelifetreewirral, based at Quirky Cafe where it runs a number of services supporting people who are struggling, has announced it is putting together a proposal.
Their ideas include using it to host book clubs and story time sessions, as well as it being a base for community groups and events. A cafe is also proposed.
They are holding a series of focus group workshops next week for local people to give their input.
In a Facebook post, they said: “We are so excited to announce that we are looking to put together a bid to take over the Hoylake Library!
“The community’s options and views matter to us and we would love to hear from you!
“We are holding some focus groups for you to come and meet us, ask questions and give us your feedback and maybe look at how you can get involved.”
The time and locations of the focus groups are:
Tuesday 26 April: From 6-7pm at Hoylake Parade Community Centre
Thursday 28 April: From 5-6pm at the Quirky Cafe on Market Street
Sunday 1 May: From 2-3pm at Hoylake Parade Community Centre
If successful, the building would be handed over under what is known as a Community Asset Transfer.
📹 Easter Sunday morning on the water in West Kirby.
A puppy has been given a new lease of life after being born without a bottom.
The cockapoo, named Malla, was taken into the care of staff at Acorn Veterinary Surgery in West Kirby after being diagnosed with atresia ani – a developmental defect meaning she couldn’t poo normally.
Staff at the practice – run by Willows Veterinary Group – wanted to give her a fighting chance by performing life-saving surgery to build her a new bottom.
Now on the road to recovery, the plucky pooch has also found a new home thanks to the kind-hearted efforts of the Acorn team who took it in turns to foster and look after her.
Clinical director/veterinary surgeon Rhiannon Mansell was involved in the 15-week-old puppy’s care.
She said: “We saw her when she came in with her litter for her vaccinations and unfortunately she didn’t have a bottom and had instead been passing waste through a fistula, an abnormal hole.
“The condition is called atresia ani and it’s very rare. It’s not something that we see everyday. She was very bloated and struggling to go to the toilet and was really uncomfortable, but otherwise a really bright and cute little thing.
“We ended up signing her over to the practice and one of our advanced soft tissue surgeons, Nick Wheeldon, had a little look at her.
“We wanted to save her and find her a new home so we basically constructed her a new bottom so that she could pass stool.”
Miraculously, the pup can now poo on her own. She may need another operation when she’s older but for now, staff at Acorn are pleased with her progress and continue to keep an eye on her.
She’s now found a new home, living with the neighbour of a staff member.
