But thanks for the Westsail 32 suggestion, we will give it a thought,

You might be surprised. The WetSnail 32 is a big heavy boat for its
length, not known for its speed of course, but a far better choice for
world cruising than an Ericson 39.

The Ericson 39 was a decent boat in its day but was primarily designed
as a coastal racer/cruiser.
