To jan_hou: the shortest straight line distance is about 250km. Depending on where in Taiwan you start, the overall direction you'd be going in would range between east-southeast and northeast. What kind of wind angle do you prefer? We might find a time of the year to match your wind preference.
If there is no suitable wind, you could travel in a zig-zag line like a yacht, but your stamina might not be up to the increased mileage and travel time. You would also have to travel part of the way in the dark - probably not much fun far away from land, and also not safe...
