HI Carrie,
Portland is the only city in the U.S. that have the boats with the dragon
heads. Most times we paddle and race in what are called Hong Kong boats
which are smaller and lighter. The larger dragon boats hold 16 paddlers and
a caller and tiller. Where the Hong Kong boats hold 20 paddlers plus a
caller and tiller.
The larger boats are 40 feet long where the Hong Kong are 48 feet long.
You can see pictures at the Dragon Sports site!

Here's the wikipedia entry for dragon boats:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_boat
I saw a dragon boat race in Sydney Harbor at Sydney, Australia. The very
front of each boat is in the shape of a dragon head, the backs are the tails
of the dragon. They were just beautiful!

Dragon boating? Never heard of it. I guess I'll have to Google it and see
what it's all about. I presume these boats don't breathe fire or fly, as
dragons are commonly understood to do? Or do the boats fly? I've
heard of flying boats...
