Engineered to perform.
Designed to belong.
For more than 25 years, C-Quip has designed and manufactured premium carbon fibre equipment for motor and sailing yachts from 40 metres to the world's largest vessels. Every solution combines structural performance, practical onboard usability and a finish worthy of the yacht.
Auckland, New Zealand — est. 1998
It started in a boatshed.It ended up on the world’s finest yachts.
C-Quip began where New Zealand composite engineering always begins — on the water, solving problems no catalogue could answer.
Racing programmes needed structures lighter, stiffer and more reliable than anything available. That discipline became the company.
As superyachts grew, so did the demands on the equipment serving them.
C-Quip answered by bringing autoclave-cured, aerospace-grade laminates to marine equipment — drawn, laminated, cured and finished under one roof, for one specific vessel at a time.

Selected Work
Case studies.
Every programme starts with a constraint — weight, stowage, crew numbers, certification — and ends with a component engineered around it.
- Brief
- Rigid foam fenders were marking paintwork and filling the tender garage.
- Outcome
- Full carbon-framed inflatable set, stowed in a third of the volume, zero hull contact damage.
- Brief
- Crew of two needed to deploy a 5m stair without deck machinery.
- Outcome
- Autoclave-cured carbon structure at under half the aluminium weight, hand-deployed in minutes.
- Brief
- Panels required aerospace certification with a Class-A visible weave finish.
- Outcome
- AS9100 production cells delivering repeatable tolerances across hundreds of parts.
- Brief
- Season-long durability with strict weight and aero-surface accuracy targets.
- Outcome
- Prepreg bodywork holding surface accuracy through a full race season.
