Design
The Blue Chip 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a spooned, raked stem with a bowsprit; a raised counter, angled transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces 7,000 lb (3,175 kg) and carries 3,250 lb (1,474 kg) of lead ballast.
The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard keel and is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and a two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.
The design has a hull speed of 6.45 kn (11.95 km/h).
