The Penghu Islands Regatta Week Series is Taiwan\u2019s leading international keelboat regatta, held every summer in the Penghu archipelago in the Taiwan Strait.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Now preparing for its 15th edition in 2027, the regatta typically welcomes between 18 and 30 boats and around 200 sailors from up to 15 countries and regions. A week in Penghu combines bay racing in the shelter of Penghu Bay, island races through the archipelago and offshore challenges around the islands \u2013 with regatta dinners and prize-givings ashore in Magong.<\/p>

The regatta is organised by the Penghu Sailing Association<\/strong> (\u6f8e\u6e56\u7e23\u5e06\u8239\u5354\u6703), working with the sailing community in Taiwan and partners across the region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Why Penghu<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Penghu is famous for its wind. From October to March the north-east monsoon blows strongly across the islands, making Penghu a renowned winter venue for windsurfing and dinghy training. In summer the breeze turns to the south-west and moderates \u2013 ideal conditions for keelboat racing.<\/p>

The regatta is sailed in late June and early July, in the bright summer season when Penghu\u2019s clear turquoise water, basalt cliffs and islands are at their best.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
