I found it easier to upgrade the BL than to downgrade the HP60 to get to a cruising HP40. Where the cabin of a HP60 is more catamaran style, that of the HP40 is more trimaran style.

Raise the roof of the very simple ww hull of the BL to standing height and top off with a "front" window some ways of each bow. Widen the hull at about half height to have a V berth in each bow and in the center a bench seat extendable to a bunk on either side of the companionway with stow away table. Have the head between the V of one of the V berths and a microwave between the other V. Cold or wet weather conditions steering is standing up in the companionway, otherwise steering on the tramp.
The lw hull would remain the technical hull.
