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 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.
