This Feeling 44 was built in 2002 and is presented in excellent order throughout. The lift keel gives a minimum draft of only 2ft3in so she can explore remote regions where others cannot consider going. She has a three cabin layout with two heads compartments, excellent galley and innovative chart table arrangement. A true sailors boat with a great turn of speed under sail. The saloon is bathed in light from the large windows and the table can easily seat eight people. Well worth inspection.
