The 1984 Feeling 920 is a well-known type of cabin sailing yacht in the segment of compact yet notably spacious cruising boats. With a length of 9.20 metres and a beam of 3.25 metres, this model offers an interior that can provide a lot of living space relative to its size, thanks in part to the practical layout and an interior headroom of approximately 1.77 metres. This Feeling 920 has been used on inland waters and has served as a liveaboard, which immediately indicates that the vessel is set up for longer stays and comfort in the cabin.
The vessel is offered in poorer condition following the owner’s death. For buyers looking for a project boat, a fixer-upper, or a basis for their own refit and modernisation programme, this can be an interesting starting point. The combination of dimensions, layout and the Feeling type makes it possible to rebuild the boat to your own preferences, both technically and cosmetically.
With a draft of 1.70 metres, this sailing yacht is suitable for many inland waterways and lakes, while still offering sufficient keel depth to support directional stability and sailing performance. In practice, what matters most is that the Feeling 920 is known as a boat that sails readily and responds well to trim and helm pressure. Steering is via a tiller from the cockpit, which many sailors appreciate for the direct feel and straightforward handling during manoeuvres in harbours and locks.
The single rudder blade suits the character of a traditional cabin cruiser: clear, mechanically simple, and providing distinct feedback underway. For those who enjoy active sailing and trimming themselves, this type of steering is often a plus—especially on inland waters where sailing frequently involves changing wind angles and short tacks.
On board is a Volvo inboard diesel engine with an output of 18 hp, electrically started and configured with two cylinders. In principle, this power is suitable for a 9-metre cruising yacht for harbour manoeuvres and calm motoring on canals. It is important to emphasise that the engine is currently not operational. A buyer should therefore allow for diagnosis, repair or replacement, depending on the technical condition and the availability of parts. For project buyers, this may be a logical moment to opt for an overhaul or an alternative propulsion setup, aligned with the intended use.
The fuel system needs to be checked. With a boat that has been laid up for a longer period, it is also common practice to critically inspect systems such as fuel lines, cooling, exhaust and the electrical installation.
The Feeling 920 offers 6 permanent berths, making this sailing yacht attractive for families, longer trips with friends, or for anyone looking for a compact liveaboard-style solution with sailing capability. The 1.77-metre headroom contributes to comfort in the cabin, especially when the boat is used for weekend stays or as temporary accommodation.
For climate comfort, hot-air heating is fitted, extending the season and making time on board more pleasant in spring and autumn. In addition, a vacuum toilet is installed. The toilet discharge goes directly overboard; buyers are advised to assess this in relation to the intended cruising area and any modifications they may wish to make to the sanitation system.
With a weight of approximately 3,500 kg, this type typically feels solid on the water and can form a stable basis for a refit. The Feeling line is known for a practical French approach to space utilisation: a cabin cruiser that combines sailing and onboard living. Precisely with a vessel in poorer condition, it is attractive that the basic dimensions and concept are right; a buyer can then invest step by step in hull, deck hardware, rigging, interior finishing and technical systems.
This Feeling 920 is therefore mainly of interest to someone specifically looking for a 9-metre sailing yacht with generous interior space, tiller steering and a layout with multiple berths, and who is willing to set aside time and budget for repair and modernisation. With the right approach, this model can once again develop into a comfortable cruiser for inland waters, weekend trips and longer stays on board.
