Rank most seaworthy 35-40 footers

[3Reefs]

I'm in the boat hunt. There are other threads, including one I posted a little while back on the eternal question of best bluewater cruiser. But here's a more focused question.

I have a shortlist. I'd like anyone who feels up to it to rank this list -- purely in relation to seaworthiness. So capsize resistance, higher AVS, robust build, seakindly shape. All the rest -- space, the looks, tankage, etc etc -- is essentially adaptable. But seaworthiness is the base, at least for me.

You'll see I've pretty much left out types like Tayana 37, Ingrid 38, HansChristian, etc. I just think they are too heavy, too tank-like, and I want a boat that's strong, but lighter than those. A boat that could sail out of trouble, not just plough through it. I know there's tons to be said for a Tayana, for example, but I DON'T want to get sidetracked in a debate on that.

Here goes. No particular order at all -- that, I leave up to you:

Wauquiez Pretorien 35
Bayfield 36
Morgan 382
Southern Cross 39
Sabre 38
Bristol 40
Spencer 35/42
Valiant 37
Valiant 40
PSC 37
Shannon 38
Rafiki 37 (a 'Tayana' type, yes, but lighter, no bowsprit, and, I understand, better sailers. Cheaper too.)
