The Blue Chip 30 represents a refined convergence of traditional naval architecture and pioneering fiberglass construction. Designed by the esteemed Thomas Gillmer—best known for the Allied Seawind and the Southern Cross series—and built by the Cape Cod Shipbuilding Co., this vessel was conceived as a "little ship" for serious coastal and offshore cruising. It is a doubleended, fullkeel cruiser that prioritizes seakindliness and safety over modern racing metrics. As a product of the Warehambased yard’s postwar fiberglass revolution, the Blue Chip 30 benefits from E.L. Goodwin’s proprietary bonding techniques, which created a virtually monolithic hulltodeck structure, a hallmark of the Blue Chip 30 lineage.
