Feeling 326 Lifting Keel - 1990 (0wner\'s Model)
Hi
I am relatively new to sailing i.e i have sailed on friends boats for a number of seasons and recently did the dayskipper theory and practical and I am now comtemplating buying a boat. Ideally I want something between 32 and 37 ft. I like Sigmas but i am concerned they are a little too old now. I am prepared to spend between £30k - £50k.
One boat that I have looked at recently is a Feeling 326 with a lifting keel (1990 model). I have never been on a Feeling. I would welcome any comments/advise. Also I have never been on a boat with a lifting keel. I can see the advantages of a lifting keel and assume there are some disadvantages e.g how does it affect the performance into wind ? - again any comments would be welcome.
Thanks
