I had a Beneteau first 405 that I sailed from the Seattle to Australia via the South Pacific 2005-2008. It was a huge investment in time and $$$$ to make the BF405 into a vessel that could safely cross oceans w/o problems. If I did it again I'd go with a older Halberg Rassy (great boats) anywhere from 31' to 42'. Why? Resale on the back end would be much better for the HR and, yes they all get sold eventually so this does matter.
Not to bust on buyers of Catalina and Beneteau (I was one) but, they usually don't care about REAL ocean quality systems... it's more about a few hours of near coastal and cocktail hours at the dock. Buyers looking for a ocean boat don't even glance at at Beneteau or Catalina when they are surfing boat porn on yachtworld or similar.
In summary a vessel with a ocean going reputation will take care of your family in the short term around Vancouver island (which can have very intense conditions) and make for a more sound investment should your outfit her more extensively. My old Beneteau now lives in Southern Australia! I took a 747 back and bought a catamaran.
If you want to check out the Beneteau and the $80,000 in upgrades (materials only) I think the old website is still up at:
