Owner

Bruce has been an avid boatbuilder and sailor since youth. He launched his first boat, built in his parents garage, before he graduated high school. He then spent time working in the Nova Scotian boatbuilding industry, slowly fostering his love for composite and wooden boats before starting Tern Boatworks in 2004.

Manager

Neil began his career building and repairing fibreglass components for marine use and otherwise. Wishing to expand his abilities he decided to pursue an Apprenticeship in traditional wooden boat construction at The Apprenticeshop School in Rockland, ME. Upon completion he returned home to Nova Scotia to work with various boatbuilders around the province before starting with Tern in 2007.
