I just finished talking with Ted Bell. Here’s the latest on his new canoe enterprise, Bell Composites.

Ted is very much back in the canoe-building business! For now, he is in a limited production mode. In fact, his production schedule is currently booked out through April.

The good news is you can get your orders in now! Currently four dealers offer his canoes: Piragis in Ely ( (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links); Carl’s Paddling near Madison, Wisconsin, ( (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links); Kansas City Paddler, ( (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links); and Racket River Outfitters in New York, ( (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links);

Ted is building two boats at this time: the Northwind17 and the Northwind18. (The boats are actually 17’6” and 18’9”, respectively.) Bell Composites will also be offering a 16’6” solo canoe this spring, modeled after the old Bell Magic.

He’s also planning a website. So stay tuned!
