Something to think about, is some of the mid 80's 30'ish foot boats, while NOT IOR per say, they are geting a bit better designed spec to them, in such a manner that they are better sailed/handled etc. Some include boats like Jodys Barberous(sp?), my Jeanneau Arcadia and the slightly bigger Attalia, Sunshine 36 too. They have many of the what one needs and wants for off shore sailing to a degree.
My Arcadia is a half ton per IOR, but it is the latest and last half ton design by Tony Castro. So reasonbly fast etc. Not sure I would want to take her on a world cruise......but she would handle off shore work etc.
Plenty of options, just find what will work etc.
