1999 Feeling 306 – Lifting Keel Coastal Cruiser Now exclusively available through Williams & Smithells International, this 1999 Feeling 306 is a versatile compact cruiser designed for ease of handling and shallow-water access. With her lifting keel and single rudder configuration, she offers exceptional flexibility for coastal cruising, family sailing, or exploring tidal waters. Designed by Gilles Vaton and built by Kirié/Alliaura Marine, the Feeling 306 combines modern lines with proven French craftsmanship. Her Yanmar 18HP diesel engine provides reliable power, while her sloop rig features a roller furling genoa and slab reefing mainsail for straightforward sail management. Updated standing rigging from 2018/19, five self-tailing winches, and refreshed pipework in 2022/23 ensure confidence at sea. A 50W solar mat, shore power, and Hi-tec battery charger support onboard systems. Navigation equipment includes autopilot, chart plotter, and VHF, with AIS ready for activation. On deck, her layout is practical and secure, ideal for both short hops and longer passages. Below deck, the Feeling 306 offers a surprisingly bright and comfortable interior. She sleeps four in two private cabins, with a welcoming saloon, full galley, heads with shower, and plentiful storage. Her smart design makes her a perfect choice for first-time buyers or experienced sailors seeking a well-balanced cruiser. Currently ashore at Northshore Shipyard, she is available for immediate viewing. Contact Williams & Smithells International today to arrange an appointment or request further details.
