For Sale: 1987 Feeling 1040 – Volvo 2003 (28hp) Shaftdrive Diesel
A rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved Feeling 1040, designed by the renowned French naval architect Philippe Harlé and built by Kirie. This model has earned an excellent reputation for combining seaworthy performance, clever design, and comfortable cruising accommodation.
The Feeling 1040 is a versatile cruiser that delivers both capability and comfort — equally at home on extended passages as it is on relaxed coastal sailing. With a responsive helm, balanced sail plan, and solid construction, she offers confidence in a wide range of conditions. Inside, the intelligent layout provides a surprisingly spacious and bright living area for a yacht of her size, with practical touches that make life onboard enjoyable whether for a weekend or a longer cruise.
This is a fantastic chance to step into ownership of one of Philippe Harlé’s most successful designs — a cruiser with pedigree, personality, and plenty of adventure still ahead of her. Please note this yacht is not lying Brighton Marina.
