Apart from a Westerly Riiviera, you could also keep an eye open for a Vulcan for sale - although there were apparently only 40 built.

Or a Colvic Countess 35?

I suppose that the Eclipse 33 has a 'deck saloon' rather than a wheelhouse as such (similarly the Countess 35?)

But you can still keep watch from down below.

How about a customised Westerly discus with a hard top ? Has bilge keels Maybe a search of bilge keelers first and then look for customised hard tops or is a fully enclosed cabin and door essential ?

Is he after something more motor-sailer-like?
Example Colvic Watson or Fisher?

No he is a sailing man,recent communication looks like he is holding back as he reckons with the virus and economic situation there will be bargains to be had in this coming autumn and winter..

 

[Sticky Fingers]

OK. He might be right; at the moment I understand that good boats are selling very quickly but that could all change.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Bit small maybe; what about the LM30? A few with bilge keels.

The problem with built on doghouse is that unless wheel is on bulkhead steersman is still out in the damp. Tiller slightly easier as can be extended.

Which is why I am trying to sell my modified Westerly Pentland and we have an LM27.

LMs sail fairly well particularly if you buy bigger genoa, but the prices for the LM30 are high.

The westerly Vulcan is thought ugly by some but very sound seaboat if available. The others can look pretty out in the damp and wind while you watch them snug and dry nursing your coffee

I always fancied one. Granted they aren't the prettiest of boats, but I can live with that as I'm coming back from Cherbourg in the pissing rain in my shirtsleeves, and pass a AWB with the helm soaked to the skin.
