Feeling 326

[spindrift_uk]

Hello
A friend of mine is in the market for a Feeling 326, he's been looking at 1992 models and I was wondering if anyone on the board has any thoughts on these boats.?

I would like to hear from someone who maybe owns one, or who has sailed them.
It would be used in the med only.

Many thank's in advance for any replies.

Regards

I was once interested in a Feeling of that vintage - 36ft I think. I backed out when the owner sheepishly admitted that it had been surveyed and the bulkheads were parting company with the hull! Something to check carefully I would say.

I will pass this info on.

When we had our first charter boat with Hamble School of Yachting the principle there was trying to get me interested in a larger Feeling (circa 1991).

Went out in it for a weekend but seemed even more lightly built than its competitors.

Only boat I had to set myself up at 90deg to the direction I wanted to go astern! Talk about prop walk! Fine directional stability though once underway astern.
