Police officers and staff from around the country will be travelling to England's smallest county to sail on one of Europe's largest man-made lakes.
Rutland Water, in Rutland, is the venue for this September's Police Sport UK dinghy sailing championships, hosted by Leicestershire Constabulary.
The event was held at the same venue last year, attracting more than 50 boats.
Wendy Yeadon chairs the organising committee. She said: “This event is the highlight of the year for the policing community's dinghy sailors. We are expecting around 70 competitors over the three days.
“Rutland Water is as big as Lake Windermere, and has excellent facilities for an event like this.”
The first day (September 19) will be the Laser championships, and will be followed by two days of handicap racing for a variety of PSUK trophies (September 20 and 21).
