Feeling 22 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. Feeling 22 sailboat for sale, trailerable cabin sailboat of 7.20 meters. The Feeling 22, also known as the Feeling 720, is a compact and cleverly designed cabin sailboat from the French shipyard Feeling Yachts. This 1985 model combines a manageable size with surprisingly ample interior space and practical equipment, making it an attractive choice for sailors looking for a trailerable sailboat for lakes, inland waters, and sheltered coastal areas. With a length of 7.20 meters and a width of 2.70 meters, this Feeling provides a stable base on the water, while the layout and sail plan are focused on easy sailing with a small crew. Kirie Feeling 22 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. Design, dimensions, and trailerability. With its 7.20 meters in length, the Feeling 720 is large enough to comfortably spend a weekend or short vacation on board, but compact enough to remain logistically manageable. The 2.70-meter width contributes to a spacious feeling in the cabin and gives the boat a solid posture under sail. An important advantage is the variable draft: thanks to the keel/daggerboard concept, the draft can vary from approximately 70 cm to about 140 cm. This makes this sailboat particularly suitable for shallow lakes, ponds, and areas where you prefer to anchor close to shore or enter a harbor with limited depth. A road trailer without license plates is included in the sale, with four rollers. This significantly increases flexibility: you can store the boat at home, easily transport it to another sailing area, and start the season wherever you want. There is also auxiliary equipment for mast stepping, including an extra mast/support that makes rigging and derigging more practical. Sailing characteristics and rigging. The Feeling 22 is known as a pleasant sailing cabin yacht with accessible controls. The aluminum mast carries a clear sail plan with mainsail and genoa. The genoa is equipped with a reefing system, making reefing and adjusting to changing wind conditions easier. This type of rigging suits sailors who like to be able to trim quickly without complicated systems, and it also makes the boat interesting for solo sailing or sailing with two people. The character of this design comes into its own on lakes and inland waters: quick response to rudder and trim input, easy tacking, and a stable feeling once the boat is up to speed. The cockpit is self-draining, contributing to comfort and safety in rough water or rain. Motorization and maneuvering. For harbor maneuvers and quiet motor use, the boat is equipped with an 8 hp Honda outboard motor (year 1999), manual start, with two cylinders. The fuel tank has a capacity of 12 liters, and the cruising speed is around 10 km/h. An outboard motor in this power range is suitable for a trailerable sailboat: it is relatively easy to use, provides sufficient thrust for entering and exiting, and is practical for maintenance and winter storage. Comfort on board and layout. Inside, the Feeling 720 offers four fixed berths, making this cabin sailboat suitable for a family or for two people who prefer extra space. The headroom of approximately 1.60 meters is appropriate within this segment and makes staying on board functional for cooking, changing, and sheltering in inclement weather. There is no onboard toilet (N/A), which for some buyers is a deliberate choice: more space, fewer systems, and a simpler usage profile, especially on lakes with good facilities ashore. Electronics, energy, and navigation. The boat has a 12V onboard system with an 80 Ah battery. For energy management, there are facilities such as a battery charger, inverter, voltmeter, wind generator, and solar panel. This makes it possible to remain autonomous for longer periods during trips and power basic consumers without constantly needing shore power. In terms of navigation, there is an autopilot, depth sounder, and compass, a combination that suits relaxed cruising and longer stretches on open water. Deck equipment and usage possibilities. On deck, you will find teak deck, lifelines, pulpit and pushpit seats, and a swim ladder, making time in the cockpit and boarding comfortable. There is one anchor with chain and line, suitable for anchoring in sheltered spots. The electric bilge pump supports daily use and provides extra security in case of water in the bilge. This Feeling 22 has mainly been used on lakes, including Lake Neusiedl, making it a logical choice for those looking for a sailboat for inland waters and recreational cruising. Thanks to the trailer, variable draft, and complete basic equipment, this is a versatile cabin sailboat for sailors seeking freedom in both sailing areas and planning.
