The Feeling 36 is a fractional sloop designed by Michel Joubert/Patrick Roseo and built by Kirie (FRA) starting in 2001. With a displacement of 13669.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 23.24, it offers a balanced blend of performance and cruising comfort, though the exact total hulls built is unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform with a fractional rig, particularly owners willing to invest in high-quality maintenance and potential upgrades like bow thrusters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.99 and a D/L ratio of 178.09, the Feeling 36 is moderately capable offshore, but its bluewater readiness depends heavily on addressing critical structural issues like deck core moisture and rudder integrity.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other early-2000s European performance cruisers with similar displacement and fractional rigs, such as the Beneteau First 36 or Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36, which share similar dimensions and target markets.
