Dragon boat racing?

In 1994, about 30 enthusiasts established Portland’s Dragon Boat Paddling Club, and there are now more than 2,000 members. The club owns six dragon boats, which are Hong Kong-style, canoe-like floatables that can be rented to rowing enthusiasts.

Portland’s annual Rose Festival each June includes a dragon boat race, and a fall regatta occurs in September.

The colorful boats often can be seen in late afternoons and evenings along the Willamette River.
