Canoe Cove Manufacturing transitioned from wooden to fibreglass boat production, becoming one of the oldest continuous producers of fibreglass boats globally. The company's journey began in 1959 with the construction of a 36 West Coast salmon troller hull, leading to the launch of its first fibreglass vessel for the RCMP. Embracing fibreglass as a revolutionary boat-building material, Canoe Cove played a pivotal role in advancing assembly line production in the industry and overcoming initial skepticism towards the new material.
