Penghu Regatta 2027

Penghu Islands Regatta Week Series · Late June 2027 · Magong, Penghu, Taiwan

Welcome to Penghu

Racing in the blue of Penghu

Every summer the wind comes in from the Taiwan Strait. Keelboats, multihulls and one-design fleets gather in Magong to race around the marks in Penghu Bay, through the islands and out to the open sea – a week of sails written into Penghu’s bluest season.

Crystal-clear Penghu blue, a steady sea breeze and some ninety islands make this one of the most beautiful racing venues in Asia. Crews from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan and Europe return year after year – racing hard on the water, raising a glass ashore.
