## Caption

Every Wednesday evening in summer, dozens of small sailboats zigzag the Willamette River near Ross Island — a chaotic scene with a purpose.

It’s Portland’s only weekly dinghy racing series, and it’s open to more people than you might expect. No boat? No problem. Some racers don’t pay a dime.
