There is a very nice looking Sovereign 40 for sale in Devon but asking a bit over budget at £70k.

Yes looks good - not that well known a model but a more modern day Seastream being from the same designer Ian Anderson

Good luck finding a decent Endurance, theres a lot of home finished projects that have been for sale ages on numerous websites if you want a fixer upper, the good stuff sells pretty quickly.

I've sailed an Endurance 40 and I thought she was very sluggish in light airs. It's a few years ago so my memory might have got it wrong?

My brother got a very very nice Northwind in Spain for euros 85k. Reccomended if you can find a good one.

When I was looking for a Countess deck saloon, most had a standard interior with a greenhouse plonked on top, which isn't really the point for me. The saloon needs to be under the raised bit and the cabin sole raised so that you can see out when at anchor, or there is no point, as far as I'm concerned.

I gave up and bought a very nice non-DS in the end.

If fancying the Malö here's a 40 at £32800. Pretty updated, even comes with a trailer for storage etc.

Note: 31' - not 40' as model name suggest

Nice, but not a deck saloon. And I've not seen the 'thruster' thing on the rudder before.

Cant argue , that's why god gave me 98 HP

colvic victor 40
much the same specs i was looking for needed a deck saloon with a view and ability to motor sail from below

add to the list Salar 40 and Victory 40

Especially the Victory 40 - some very good value ones out there. Well built boats with a surprising turn of speed when the wind is up.

I have a Cal 36 Cruising .... unfortunately she was badly damaged in a fall at the yard. She has a deck saloon but the steering and engine controls are in the cockpit, but that's not a problem with an autopilot. The main plus point with this type of deck saloon is that you have near to 360deg of sea view while sitting comfortably in the saloon.

IMO one of the prettiest is the Tayana 37 pilothouse :
