If I had the money, I seriously would have looked at this Glacer 50 in Spain... But I didn't have the money and I'm still happy with the Kaufman 47 I bought.

Tayana 42, KP44, Caliber 40, Bristol 45.5 or even 41.1.

What about Bob's Nordic 44? Maybe the upper end of the price range on that short list, but shouldn't be more than a 45.5.

There is a Nordic 40 for sale here about 1/2 mile from my mooring which is rare.Not too many of them around here.

My concern is that long term cruising it might still be too small a boat for us.

Nauticat 40 or 43? I assure you, unless you guys are part rabbit, the 43 with it's extra stateroom that sleeps 3 will never get too small!

Not shure what you budget is, but I like the Deerfoot, a few now on yacht world, a nice 50 footer in the mid 200's.

I will have a look.

I have always liked the Deerfoot's, the Dashew's are amongst my early cruising/sailing heros. I fear though they might sit outside my budget.
