The first keelboat regatta held off Taiwan proper yesterday drew crowds of yachting enthusiasts to Tainan’s Anping District (安平).
The competition, hosted by the Argo Yacht Club, was held in a round-robin format, with two pairs of competitors heading out in each round.
The conditions near the club were ideal for yachting, club president Chang Ching-hsiang (張慶祥) said, adding that he hopes the competition will spur interest in water sports.
