Everyone can place a bid until 19 October 2026.What makes this Feeling 346 so appealing 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 at the helm thanks to her tiller steering, and with the sails reefed in good time, 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 particularly popular because she can make good speed without sacrificing comfort.

What is her engine configuration and what can you expect from the engine?She has a 2012 Volvo Penta D1-30 inboard diesel engine with 29 hp and three cylinders. The engine is electrically started and reported to be operational. The engine has 2,778 running hours. With a 90-litre diesel tank and reported 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 motoring. 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 electrical systems are present?On board, you will find navigation equipment suitable for coastal sailing and longer trips, including a chartplotter, compass, log and speedometer, and radar. The electrical installation operates on 12V and 220V and includes shore power, an alternator and a battery charger. There are two batteries with a total capacity of 185 Ah. This makes her appealing to anyone looking for a sailing yacht with shore power and navigation equipment, allowing you to stay comfortably both underway and in harbour.

What points of attention were identified during the inspection?Transparency is important in an online boat auction, and an independent pre-purchase inspection report from July 2026 is available for this Feeling 346. The report notes, among other things, that the gas installation should be inspected and certified, that the seacocks 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 mentioned, and the batteries were recorded as having tested insufficiently. In addition, it is stated that she has osmosis or signs of osmosis. The boat was taken out of the water in 2026, and antifouling was applied in the same year.

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 stays on board. She is suitable for a family or a couple who like to have space for guests. Her air draft of approximately 15.50 metres makes her suitable for many cruising areas, while her exterior equipment enhances the comfort of spending time in the cockpit and on deck. Please note that the toilet discharge leads directly into open water, which may be an important consideration depending on the cruising area and your intended use.
