what boat - advice needed

[Birdseye]

Want to change my sailing yacht, but am having real difficulty in finding something to look at which will fit my spec. Any suggestions welcome.

I want a boat that will dry out without legs (bilge, cb, cat)
deep secure stern cockpit
about as roomy as moody 35
fun to sail

if mono, heavier than a benbavjan

it will be used for two handed distance cruising in retirement.

Not the sort of boats I go for though, I prefer Motor Sailers.
Your choice of boat is a very personal thing, like your choice of women, cars or pets.
