Feeling 346 now in the online auction. Everyone can place bids until 19 October 2026.What makes this Feeling 346 so attractive to sail?The Feeling 346 is known as a fast, sporty and comfortable cruiser, which fits well with her design philosophy. She feels light and precise at the helm thanks to her 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, making sailing and reefing underway practical. For anyone looking for a performance cruiser that also works well 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 from the engine?She has a Volvo Penta D1-30 inboard diesel engine from 2012, producing 29 hp and featuring three cylinders. The engine has electric start and is reported to be operational. The engine has recorded 2,778 running hours. With a 90-litre diesel tank and a stated fuel consumption of approximately 2 litres per hour, she is suitable for longer passages under power, for example in calm conditions or when entering and leaving harbours. Instruments such as an oil-pressure gauge and temperature gauge support safe operation under power. The cruising speed is stated as 11 kilometres per hour, with a maximum speed of 13 kilometres per hour, which is appropriate for a cruiser of this size.

What navigation equipment and onboard electrics are available?On board, you will find navigation equipment suitable for coastal sailing and longer trips, including a chartplotter, compass, log and speedometer. The electrical system operates on 12V and 220V and is equipped with shore power, an alternator and a battery charger. There are two batteries with a combined capacity of 185 Ah. This makes her interesting for anyone looking for a sailing yacht with shore power and navigation equipment, allowing you to stay comfortably both underway and in the harbour.

What points of attention were identified during the inspection?Transparency is important in an online boat auction, and an inspection report from July 2026 is available for this Feeling 346. Among other points, the report states that the gas installation requires inspection, that the seacocks show oxidation and are difficult to open and close, and that the cooling-water pump is leaking. Minor rust formation on the keel bolts is also mentioned, and the batteries were recorded as having tested insufficiently. In addition, it is indicated that she has osmosis or traces of osmosis. The boat was taken out of the water in 2026, and antifouling was applied in the same year. For buyers specifically looking for a Feeling 346 with an inspection or a sailing boat with an inspection report, this documentation provides useful guidance for making decisions and planning work. The inspection report can be viewed on the viewing day.

What is life on board like during a weekend or holiday?With her berths, headroom and galley facilities, the Feeling 346 is designed for comfortable living on board. She is suitable for a family or a couple who enjoy having space for guests. Her air draft of approximately 15.50 metres makes her suitable for many cruising areas, while her exterior equipment makes time in the cockpit and on deck enjoyable. Do note that the toilet discharge leads directly into open water, which may be a point to consider depending on the cruising area and personal preferences.

This Feeling 346 is offered through BoatAuction as an online auction boat. She is a characterful French cruiser with sporty capabilities, a 2012 Volvo Penta D1-30, and documentation including the Belgian certificate of registry, the engine invoice, the mainsail invoice and the inspection report.
