You might look at a Waquiez (sp?) Pretador or something like that. 35', known to cross oceans, priced in the area you have to work with.
J35 might also work, as I recall there is a cruising version vs a race version that is a bit better equipped.
If you like catalina's, I would look at the 36mkII before a 320 and to a degree the mkI 36. CD might have better idea's on that line.
If you find a jeanneau, the SO 35, 36, 37 or 40 might fit the bill too. Along with an older model the sunshine 36/38 designed by TOny Castro from the mid 80's. One that I know of did a nonstop circumnav a couple of yrs ago IIRC the model. That boat in the 80's did well in races too. So reasonably quick and ocean doable.
