Specifications
Feeling 29 DI – Sailboat with Centerboard, Suitable for Drying Out and Shallow Waters
The Feeling 29 DI, built in 1995 by the French shipyard Kirie, is a sailboat that stands out due to its centerboard construction and practical layout. With a length of 8.70 meters and a width of 3.10 meters, this vessel offers a spacious and functional living environment, suitable for both inland waters and coastal areas such as the Wadden Sea. The boat is the successor to the Kelt 850 and is known for its versatility and ease of use, particularly for families or sailors who enjoy drying out or exploring shallow areas.
Hull and Construction
The hull of the Feeling 29 DI is made of polyester and has a round bilge shape. This hull construction contributes to stability and comfort while sailing. The draft varies from 0.65 meters to 1.70 meters thanks to the centerboard, making it possible to sail in shallow waters or dry out on, for example, the Wadden. The boat has an air draft of approximately 13 meters, making it suitable for most bridges on inland waters.
Interior and Accommodation
Inside, the Feeling 29 DI offers a headroom of 1.75 meters. The layout is focused on comfort and functionality, with four fixed berths and two additional berths in the saloon. The cabin is fitted with wood and equipped with a dining area, mattresses, an oven, and a stove. The sanitary facilities consist of a manual toilet with a holding tank (30 liters) and a shower. The water tank has a capacity of 90 liters. The saloon upholstery shows some detachment in places, although it has already been replaced in the aft cabin.
Engine and Technology
The boat is equipped with a Yanmar 2GM20 inboard diesel engine of 18 hp, with two cylinders and an electric start system. The engine dates from 1994 and has approximately 3000 running hours. The fuel consumption is around 1.5 liters per hour, with a diesel tank of 25 liters. The engine is operational. The electrical installation consists of three batteries with a total capacity of approximately 250 Ah, a Victron battery charger (renewed in 2024), alternator, shore power connection, and a voltmeter.
Navigation and Electronics
In terms of navigation, the boat is equipped with an autopilot (Autohelm ST2000), GPS (MLR FX312), compass, log/speedometer, depth sounder, and VHF radio. The wind meter is currently defective. The boat features an ST60+ depth and log instrument. The autopilot plug is currently not receiving power, which requires attention.
Sailing Equipment
The Feeling 29 DI has an aluminum mast and an extensive sail plan with six sails: two mainsails, genoa, storm jib, drifter, and spinnaker with corresponding spinnaker pole. The foresail is equipped with a Selden Furlex furling system (replaced in 2024). The running rigging has been largely renewed, and the centerboard halyard has been replaced with a Dyneema line. The condition of the sails is described as functional.
Equipment and Extras
On deck, the boat is equipped with a sprayhood, guardrail, pulpit and pushpit seats, swim ladder, and swim platform. There are two anchors with chain and line. The cockpit is self-draining. For safety, a liferaft (Arimar, 4 persons, soft bag) is present, although it still needs to be inspected. An electric bilge pump is installed.
The boat comes with various extras, including a Quicksilver dinghy with a Mariner 2.5 hp outboard motor, spare parts (including a replacement VHF radio), a bosun's chair, and fender board.
Usage
The boat has been primarily used for pleasure cruising, day trips, and weekend stays. The combination of centerboard, mast lowering system, and compact dimensions makes the Feeling 29 DI particularly suitable for Dutch inland waters and drying out on the Wadden.
Summary
The Feeling 29 DI is a functional and spaciously designed sailboat with a centerboard construction, suitable for a wide range of sailing areas. Thanks to recent technical improvements such as a new furling system, renewed batteries, and LED lighting, the vessel is ready to sail for the coming season. Some points of attention are the defective wind meter, the upholstery in the saloon, and the autopilot plug. The boat offers a practical solution for sailors looking for a versatile vessel with options for drying out and comfortable living on board.
