Sponsor of the month – CMC Design
Opua Cruising Club is proud to shine the spotlight on our June Sponsor of the Month, CMC Design.
Based in Opua, CMC Design is a specialist cabinetmaking, marine fitout and custom woodworking company creating exceptional projects throughout Northland and beyond.
CMC Design have shed space at their Opua workshops for boat restorations and can fit vessels up to 36 foot / 12 meters long and 11 foot /3.5 meters wide.
All your restoration work, both large and small projects, upgrades and paintwork can be done onsite.
Master boatbuilder Craig McInnes has been in the industry for nearly 40 years and has worked on many classics including the Lady Crossley, Otehei, Alma G II and Marline as well as many, many other sailing and motor vessels.
Anything over this size can be booked into sheds or hard stand at the nearby Bay Of Islands Marina, where they can work on your boat in situ.
Their most recent restoration out of the shed was the 75 year old Marline. A beautiful classic kauri launch built by Leon Warne and lovingly cherished by a further two generations of the Warne family.
Marlines current custodian Kennedy Warne was thrilled with the result, as was his father Ken Warne who made a special trip to see Marline relaunched in fine form.
Kennedy noted:
‘For me, one of the great benefits of putting Marline in the hands of the CMC team is that the team not only has deep expertise in boatbuilding, but also in cabinetmaking. The two skill sets come together when the requirement is not just in functional aspects of the vessel (such as a new anchoring system, or a walk-through at the transom) but in creating beautiful interior features that are consistent with the period in which Marline was built (a new skylight featuring native timbers, new galley cabinetry and benches.)’
