Patrick,
You may want to look at a Caliber 40 LRC. They are made in Florida. They
are a blue-water cruiser and have almost everything on your list. They also
have 200 gallons of fuel and 180 gallons of water.
I don't think you can find many better boats at their price.

1. Cutter Rig (would settle for sloop if everything else about the boat
were perfect)
2. LOA between 38 ft and 48 ft
3. Fiberglass hull (aluminum or steel would be ok if in excellent
condition and sufficient other criteria met)
4. Full skeg-hung rudder
5. Medium to heavy displacement
6. Full, modified full (cutout forefoot) or modified fin keel
6.1. Good performance to windward, ability to point high
6.2. Good righting moment
6.3. At least moderate ability to steer while backing under engine power
6.4. My preference would be a wide short fin, with plenty of balast
7. Draft not much more than 6 ft and not much less than 5 ft
8. Sugar scoop transom would be nice
9. Aft cockpit is preferable, but I also want a nice aft cabin with
decent headroom, so that may dictate a center cockpit
10. Little or no wood topside (this will be a hard one, I love the
"classic" look)
11. No huge portlights, so pilothouse boats are probably out
12. 100 gal fresh water tankage at the very minimum, preferably 150 or
better
13. 100 gal diesel tankage at the very minimum
14. Two cabins (a V-berth guest cabin and an aft owners cabin)
15. Two heads, both with showers
16. Keel-stepped mast
Additional Extras
1. Roller furling jib and staysail (but not main)
2. Windvane steering in addition to Autopilot
3. Watermaker
4. Generator
5. DC refrigeration instead of or in addition to engine-driven
6. Transom or cockpit shower head
7. Pump and hose rigged in chain locker for saltwater washdown of chain
when raising anchor
8. Dodger and bimini
9. Arch and davits for dingy
10. Radar
11. SSB radio
12. Solar panels
13. Wind generator
14. Separate shower compartment in at least one head
15. Second sail track on mast for storm sail
16. At least one watertight bulkhead would be nice
17. Inverter
18. Deck drains to catch rain water
19. Electric windlass
