About the FEELING 960
Sold in the US and CAN as the ELITE 324. Deep bulb keel:1.70 m Shallow draft: 1.35 m Keel/cb: .90m BU 1.92m BD.
The Feeling 960 is a 32.75 ft masthead sloop designed by Philippe Harlé/P. Roséo and built by Kirie Constructions (FRA) between 1985 and 1988. With a displacement of 8600.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 20.66, this vessel offers a balanced blend of performance and stability for its era.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable motion and manageable size, as evidenced by the prevalence of bimini installations and single-engine setups.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.07 and a D/L ratio of 226.97, the boat is moderately capable offshore, though its relatively light displacement suggests it is better suited for protected coastal waters than heavy ocean passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other mid-1980s European fin-keel sloops of similar length, such as the Beneteau First 323 or Oyster 32, due to its similar displacement and beam dimensions.
