Calling all Chico 30 Owners

That sounds about right . The earliest ones had very small cabins as primarily designed as an ocean racing boat. Chubasco had a longer cruising cabin . The longer cruising cabins were initially stepped with two levels in the cabin roof, then some later ones had the main cabin roof carrying right through.

Toltec has a shorter cabin and 3 windows we loved her for the longer cockpit and all the berths are 6ft5 as I am 6ft4 finding a boat with long berths can be challenging

Hi there, just noticed this conversation re our beloved first boat Chit Chat. We bought her in 1997 and believed that she was the last out of the mould, or close to that.

What sort of headroom do they have? I'm 6'2" and don't love low headroom in a cruiser, but this made me think twice.
