Seeking "Willy's Jeep" of Bluewater Monohulls

In my scan of boats to take me around the world, I wondered if anyone knows of designs that lend themselves to ease of maintenance, similar to the original Willy's Jeep. By this I mean, it can largely be maintained in the field with simple tools (or at least lean in this direction compared to others).

For instance, I know some (perhaps all) Shannons are designed so the water and fuel tanks can be replaced with simple hand tools and without having to cut anything.



This type of information is hard to locate with just simple internet searches, so I'm hoping this forum can be a more expedient resource. Specifically, I'm looking at something 27-40 feet, preferably cutter rigged, with an encapsulated keel. If not outright designed for ease of maintenance, any insights you have on certain models where the designers "did things right" in terms of planning for maintenance are appreciated.
