Broker's Comments
The Feeling 286 Special is a modern cruiser offering excellent sailing performance alongside good accommodation. They have an aft double cabin and then a forward double in the forepeak; this "open plan" style makes for a light airy interior.
This one has been extensively updated and comes with a good set of sails and extensive levels of equipment and instrumentation - see full details above.
