Feeling 920 now in online auction. Everyone can bid until June 22, 2026. Feeling 920 (1984) – spacious sailing yacht The Feeling 920 from 1984 is a well-known type of cabin sailing yacht in the segment of compact yet remarkably spacious cruising sailboats. With a length of 9.20 meters and a width of 3.25 meters, this model offers an interior that provides ample living space relative to its dimensions, thanks in part to the practical layout and an interior height of approximately 1.77 meters. This Feeling 920 has been used in inland waters and has served as a liveaboard, indicating that the vessel is designed for longer stays and comfort in the cabin. The ship is offered in lesser condition following the owner's passing. For buyers looking for a project boat, a fixer-upper, or a base for their own refit and modernization journey, this could be an interesting starting point. The combination of dimensions, layout, and the type of Feeling makes it possible to rebuild the ship according to personal preferences, both technically and cosmetically.

Hull, dimensions, and sailing characteristics With a draft of 1.70 meters, this sailing boat is suitable for many inland waters and lakes while providing enough keel depth to support course stability and sailing performance. In practice, it is particularly relevant that the Feeling 920 is known as a boat that sails smoothly and responds well to trim and helm pressure. Steering is done with a tiller from the cockpit, which many sailors appreciate for the direct feel with the rudder and ease of handling during maneuvers in harbors and locks. The single rudder blade fits the character of a traditional cabin sailor: straightforward, mechanically simple, and with clear feedback while sailing. For those who enjoy active sailing and trimming themselves, this type of steering is often an advantage, especially on inland waters where there are many varying wind angles and short legs. Engine and points of attention Onboard is a Volvo inboard diesel engine with an output of 18 hp, electrically started and equipped with two cylinders. This power level is generally suitable for a 9-meter cruising sailboat for harbor maneuvers and leisurely motoring on canals. It is important to emphasize that the engine is currently not operational. A buyer will need to consider diagnosis, repair or replacement depending on its technical condition and parts availability. For project buyers, this could be just the right moment to opt for a refurbishment process or an alternative propulsion system suited to their intended use. The fuel supply needs to be checked. For a boat that has been idle for an extended period, it is also customary to critically inspect systems such as fuel lines, cooling systems, exhausts, and electrical installations. Interior, comfort, and living aboard The Feeling 920 offers six fixed sleeping places, making this sailing yacht appealing for families or longer trips with friends or for those seeking a compact houseboat-like solution with sailing capabilities. The interior height of 1.77 meters contributes to comfort in the cabin, especially when the ship is used for weekend stays or as temporary living space. For climate comfort, there is hot air heating available which extends the season and makes living aboard more pleasant in spring and autumn. Additionally, there is a vacuum toilet installed. The toilet discharge goes directly into open water; buyers should assess this aspect concerning their intended cruising area and any modifications they wish to make to the sanitation system. Equipment, style, and opportunities for renovation With a weight of approximately 3,500 kg, this type generally feels solid on the water and can provide a stable basis for reconfiguration. The Feeling line is known for its practical French approach to space utilization: a cabin sailboat that combines both sailing and living functions. Especially with a ship in lesser condition, it is attractive that the basic dimensions and concept are sound; then a buyer can invest step by step in hull repairs, deck fittings, rigging, interior finishing, and technology. This Feeling 920 is thus particularly interesting for someone specifically looking for a 9-meter sailboat with ample interior space, tiller steering, and multiple sleeping arrangements who is willing to allocate time and budget for restoration and modernization. With the right approach, this model can once again become a comfortable cruiser for inland waters, weekend trips, and longer stays aboard.
