Feeling 286S now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. Feeling 286S Zephyr ready for adventure Meet Zephyr, a Feeling 286S from 1993 by Kirie Constructions Nautiques. This French sailing boat combines a sporty character with surprisingly spacious accommodations and a comfortable size for the Netherlands. With a length of approximately 9 meters, a beam of 3.06 meters, and a draft of 1.15 meters, she feels at home in large sailing areas, from Zeeland and the Randmeren to Friesland. Thanks to her air draft of about 12.30 meters, many bridges and routes are easily accessible, making her particularly attractive for those who enjoy alternating between lakes, inland waters, and coastal areas. Zephyr is built from fiberglass with a S-shaped hull and a wing keel. This provides her with a fine balance between stability and accessibility in shallower waters. Steering is done with a tiller in the cockpit, which many sailors appreciate for the direct connection to the helm. The cockpit is self-draining and outside you will find features such as a bimini top, cockpit tent, transom seats, lifelines, fenders and lines, as well as a swim platform with swim ladder. Davits are also present, handy for a dinghy or extra flexibility on board. Feeling 286S now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. What makes this Feeling 286S interesting for cruising sailors? Zephyr is designed for comfortable longer days and vacations on the water. Inside she offers a salon with circular seating and navigation table, a galley with oven and two-burner stove, and a compressor refrigerator. The headroom is approximately 1.82 meters in the higher areas, making her notably pleasant for this size class. With four fixed berths and additional options for several more crew members, she is suitable for couples, families or friends who enjoy sailing together. The layout with two aft cabins provides privacy and makes her appealing if you’re sailing with children or guests. How does she sail and what can you expect from the engine? Under sail, the Feeling 286S is known as a quick and lively sailing boat, and Zephyr fits this description well with her sail plan consisting of mainsail, jib, and spinnaker. The headsail features a roller system which makes reefing and changing sails while underway practical. For maneuvers in the harbor and engine hours on routes, she is equipped with an inboard Yanmar 2GM20 diesel engine of 18 hp with electric start. The specified cruising speed is around 8 kilometers per hour with a maximum around 12 kilometers per hour, and the diesel tank has a capacity of approximately 38 liters. This makes her suitable for those looking for a sailing yacht with diesel engine that performs well both under sail and on motor. What about navigation and electronics on board? For those specifically looking for a sailing boat equipped with chart plotter and AIS, Zephyr comes well-equipped. She features a Raymarine Axiom 9+ with Lighthouse chart connected to an NMEA2000 network. Additionally, there’s an AIS700 that both transmits and receives information which enhances situational awareness in busy waters. Also present are GPS, depth sounder, log and speedometer, compass, and an autopilot (ST1000). The wind measurement system is connected to the network via a wireless TacTic system; it should be noted that the wind meter requires maintenance and batteries are included. For power supply there are three batteries with a total capacity of approximately 380Ah, shore power connection, alternator charger and solar panel. This makes her attractive for those who enjoy staying at anchor longer or want to sail comfortably with refrigerator use onboard. What is known about maintenance and recent work? Zephyr was out of the water in 2024 and underwent an antifouling treatment that year as well. It has been indicated that she shows no signs of osmosis or traces thereof. In recent years various components have been renewed or addressed including the electrical system with new control panel and LED lighting; there’s also been installation of a diesel heater, new refrigeration compressor, fresh water pressure pump as well as additional amenities like an outdoor shower by the swim platform. Attention has also been given to rigging details; practical additions include stainless steel double anchor roller along with Rocna anchor complete with chain and line. All these features make her appealing to buyers looking for a Feeling 286S equipped fully for cruising adventures or weekend trips. Onboard you will also find a manual toilet with direct discharge to open water; an 80-liter water tank; along with manual bilge pump. Heating is provided via stove which extends the seasonality while enhancing comfort onboard. Zephyr is located in Bruinisse and offered via Boatauction. She is an inviting choice for anyone seeking a sporty yet practical sailing boat comfortably outfitted within the 9-meter class featuring modern navigation equipment known Yanmar diesel engine along with surprisingly spacious living arrangements.
