WHO WE ARE
Bruce Cope has been designing and building aluminum boats since 1973. He founded Cope Aluminum Boats in 1987 and since then his company has built over 450 boats. In 2001 the company shifted its focus exclusively to boat design. Early experience in aluminum boat building include working with Sam Matsumoto’s company in North Vancouver BC, one of the pioneers of aluminum boat building in North America, and 2 years on Canada’s Americas Cup team that challenged for the cup in 1987. America’s Cup boats were all aluminum back then. Bruce enjoys passing his knowledge of aluminum boatbuilding on to the next generation of boat builders. He was the consultant for the Vancouver Island University aluminum boat building course and was an instructor as well. Our team consists of three designers and one support staff.WHAT WE DO
