With limited specifications available, the Feeling 39 represents part of the French Feeling yacht series, a line known for producing solid cruising sailboats designed for comfortable coastal and offshore sailing. These boats emerged from France's rich tradition of building practical cruising yachts that prioritize livability and seaworthiness over pure racing performance. Based on its size class, this model likely features the moderate displacement and balanced sail plan characteristic of French cruising designs from this era. Feeling yachts typically incorporated thoughtful interior layouts that maximize space and comfort for extended cruising, with emphasis on practical systems and reliable construction methods. The 39-foot length suggests capability for both coastal exploration and longer passages, making it suitable for sailors seeking a versatile platform for weekend getaways or extended cruising adventures. French builders of this period often emphasized sea-kindly hull forms that provide comfortable motion in various sea conditions while maintaining respectable sailing performance. Without detailed specifications, potential buyers should seek comprehensive surveys and sea trials to evaluate this particular vessel's condition and sailing characteristics. The Feeling brand generally appeals to cruising-oriented sailors who value comfort and reliability over cutting-edge performance features.
