Feeling 346 sporty cruising yacht with comfort
This Feeling 346 by Kirie France is an inviting performance cruiser designed by Gilles Vaton and built in 1991. The boat combines a lively sailing feel with the comfort you want for weekend trips, holidays and longer passages on inland waters, lakes and at sea. With her length of 10.13 metres, beam of 3.47 metres and draft of 2.20 metres, she is made for confident sailing, while her round-bilge hull and tiller steering provide direct contact with the water. Anyone searching for “Feeling 346 for sale”, “sporty cruising yacht” or a seaworthy sailing yacht of around ten metres will find this lady an interesting offering via BoatAuction.
Below deck, the Feeling 346 offers a practical layout with six fixed berths plus two additional. With approximately 1.90 metres of headroom, the interior feels remarkably spacious for her length class. On board you will find, among other things, a refrigerator and oven, making her pleasant for longer stays aboard. Outside she is equipped with a sprayhood, guardrails, pulpit and pushpit seats, and a swim platform. The self-draining cockpit matches the character of a cruising yacht that is happy to hold her own on open water, while also inviting relaxed days in the marina or at anchor.
Feeling 346 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 24 August 2026.
What makes this Feeling 346 so attractive to sail?
The Feeling 346 is known as a fast, sporty yet comfortable cruiser, which fits well with her design philosophy. She feels light and precise on the helm thanks to the tiller, and with timely reefing she remains predictable and pleasant to sail. Her sail plan consists of a mainsail and genoa, with the headsail fitted with a furling system. The genoa furling system is approximately five years old, which makes sailing and reefing underway practical. For those looking for a performance cruiser that also works as a holiday yacht, this type is popular because she can make good speed without sacrificing comfort.
How is she powered and what can you expect under engine?
She has a Volvo Penta D1-30 inboard diesel engine from 2012 with 29 hp and three cylinders. The engine is electrically started and, according to the seller, operational. The number of running hours is 2778. With a 90-litre diesel tank and a stated consumption of around 2 litres per hour, she is suitable for longer motoring legs, for example in calm conditions or when entering and leaving harbours. Instruments such as an oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge support motoring. The cruising speed is stated at 11 kilometres per hour with a maximum of 13 kilometres per hour, appropriate for a cruising yacht of this size.
What navigation equipment and onboard electrics are present?
On board you will find navigation equipment suitable for coastal cruising and longer trips, including a chartplotter, compass, log and speedometer, and radar. The electrical system operates on 12V and 220V and is equipped with shore power, alternator and battery charger. Two batteries are present with a total capacity of 185 Ah. This makes her interesting for anyone looking for a sailing yacht with shore power and navigation equipment, allowing comfortable stays both underway and in port.
What points of attention are known from the inspection?
Transparency is important in an online boat auction, and for this Feeling 346 a purchase inspection report from July 2026 is available. It states, among other things, that the gas installation needs to be inspected, that valves show oxidation and are difficult to open and close, and that the cooling water pump is leaking. Light rust formation on the keel bolts is also noted, and the batteries are recorded as testing insufficient. In addition, it is stated that she has osmosis or traces of osmosis. The boat was out of the water in 2026 and antifouling was applied in the same year. For buyers specifically looking for a Feeling 346 with survey or a sailing boat with an inspection report, this file provides guidance for decision-making and planning work.
What is life on board like during a weekend or holiday?
With her berths, headroom and galley facilities, the Feeling 346 is set up for comfortable stays. She suits a family or a couple who like having space for guests. The air draft of approximately 15.50 metres makes her suitable for many cruising areas, while her deck and cockpit equipment makes time in the cockpit and on deck enjoyable. Please note that the toilet discharge goes directly into open water, which may be a point of attention depending on the cruising area and personal preferences.
This Feeling 346 is offered via BoatAuction as an online auction boat. She is a characterful French cruising yacht with sporty intentions, a Volvo Penta D1-30 from 2012, and documentation such as the Belgian registration letter (flag certificate), invoice for the engine, invoice for the mainsail and the inspection report. Anyone looking for a 10-metre sailing yacht, a tiller-steered performance cruiser, or specifically a Feeling 346, will find in her a solid and complete basis with clear points of attention and an inviting sailing profile.
