I would look at:
Corbin 39 - great choice for safety in a modified fin-keel - I've seen a bunch of them
Headroom is an issue if you are over 6'
Valiant 40 - of course....
Caliber, Contest
Agree with Wauquiez, but MKI has funkier layout than MkII
Look at my cruising links in my signature, lots of great boats there.
If you sort by left column (Rank) you will see my top choices in search for boat of same size / requirements.
Also look at the tabs at bottom which have background info that will be useful in your search.
I agree with your requirements, a little slower but built solid!
Just watch out for draft in some of the Caribbean islands, but I think if you will go bluewater it's irrelevant and good draft gets you better upwind sailing in rough conditions
