Colden Canoe

The Boats We Are Offering
The definition of elegance is the combination of the “power to wow” and the ability to
move with confidence in a variety of situations. This definition embodies the single blade
canoes of the ‘Fire’ series. Flashfire, Wildfire, Starfire. These classic designs,
conceptualized by Charlie Wilson, designed by David Yost and first brought to life by Bell
Canoe Works have made an indelible mark on the paddling landscape. Equally
comfortable on a wildness trip, a Class 2 river or in a Freestyle class, these versatile hulls
offer both the solo and tandem paddler a range of capabilities.
Colden Canoe was established to make this part of the Fire series available again as we
have secured the molds for these three canoes:
As of spring, 2011 Colden is pleased
to add the Dragonfly to it's collection.
Previously offered by Curtis Canoe,
the Dragonfly, a 14' 6" solo, has
been resurrected.
Each of these canoes has a proven record for versatility and an avid following of owners
and fans. These hulls are crafted using the latest techniques and materials with emphasis
on craftsmanship that both we and their owners can be proud of.
Looking Forward
We continue to refine our building process, and are currently accepting orders for
Flashfire, Wildfire and Dragonfly hulls.
During 2011 we produced three Starfire hulls. The question now is: Do we re-work the
original Starfire mold or is it time to create a plug and build a new mold? Accepting
Starfire orders on limited basis.
