Hi Ilenart. I suppose I'm just much more familiar with the North American designers/builders (being Canadian myself). Any specific suggestions for further Aussie/Kiwi designers to look at would be appreciated.

When it comes to Aussie boats, I have no idea what the Joe Adams designs are like, or what build quality is typical. I've seen some nicely finished Roberts (38's, 45's), but more often than not they're pretty rough down below, some are downright scary.

My wife loves the Westsail 32 / Kendall 32's, but I want to keep our options open before committing to one of these.

I'd be happy even if a pretty neglected Crealock 34 showed up within our price range. I'm also searching for others like the usual Valiants, Tayanas etc. I've contacted a range of Kiwi brokers to see what they know.
