Dragonfly

[NoelCanoeDad]

So I live in western PA and have been paddling with the Allegheny Canoe club. Burt Martin the VP as well as others, paddle the Curtis Dragonfly. I have been wanting one for quite some time. I went out to canoecopia and looked at the new swift version. Well after deciding I wanted one, one thing lead to another and I now own 3. One from every manufacturer to ever make them. All 3 in the picture are mine. So fun and privileged to have the opportunity own such a cool piece of history. Can’t wait to get out on the water.

It was fun to see them all at the Rendezvous last weekend. Thanks for bringing them out.

Does the Swift version appear to come from the same mold as the Curtis and the Colden versions?

Yes. Exactly the same mold Dave Curtis made around 1983.

Wow. I saw that one a few weeks ago and it was $2999. Wonder why the large price drop.

Seems like the Dragonfly bug has bitten another!
