Feeling 720KS

Feeling 720KS – compact sailing yacht with trailer, lifting keel. The 1985 Feeling 720KS is a practical and surprisingly spacious cabin sailboat from the well-known yard Feeling Yachts (Kirie Feeling). This model is known as an accessible, sporty-sailing yacht in the ~7.5-metre segment, with a layout that suits both day trips and multi-day cruising. Thanks to the combination of a lifting-keel design and relatively shallow draft, this Feeling 720KS is particularly interesting for those who enjoy sailing on lakes, shallower waters, or sheltered coastal areas. According to the information provided, the boat was mainly used on lakes, including Lake Neusiedl, which fits the character of this model well: manoeuvrable, easy to handle, and suitable for varying depths. With a length of approx. 7.50 metres and a beam of 2.70 metres, this sailboat offers a stable platform and comfortable side decks. Inside, headroom is about 1.60 metres, which is a practical figure in this class for comfortable time aboard. There are four fixed berths, making the Feeling 720KS suitable for a small family, a couple who enjoy weekend trips, or sailors looking for a compact boat with genuine cabin capabilities. Feeling 720KS now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 18 May 2026. Sailing experience and performance: agile sailing with lifting keel. A key advantage of this version is the lifting keel (specified as 70/140 cm). This means that with the keel raised you can access shallow areas and trailer or berth more easily, while with the keel lowered you gain more grip and better upwind performance. This makes the Feeling 720KS broadly usable: from inland waters and lakes to trips where you want flexibility in cruising grounds. The self-draining cockpit contributes to a practical, safe cockpit layout, especially in changeable weather conditions. The sail plan consists of a mainsail and a genoa, with a reefing system for the genoa. In practice, this provides straightforward handling, even with a small crew. The mast is aluminium and there is one mast. The condition of the sails is described as good, which is relevant for buyers when assessing immediate usability. Engine: Honda 8 hp outboard For harbour manoeuvres and motoring, the boat is equipped with a Honda 8 hp outboard engine (year of manufacture 1991), manual start, two cylinders, petrol. Fuel tank capacity is 12 litres. The stated cruising speed is around 10 km/h, which is appropriate for a boat of this size and engine setup. An outboard keeps the technology accessible and generally makes maintenance and servicing straightforward, while keeping weight at the stern limited. Navigation and electrics: 12V onboard system with wind generator and solar panel On board there is a 12V electrical system with an 80 Ah battery pack (1 battery). Equipment includes a battery charger, inverter, voltmeter, wind generator, and solar panel. This combination is attractive for sailors who like to anchor for longer periods or sail on lakes without constantly needing shore power. For navigation and course-keeping, an autopilot, depth sounder, and compass are fitted. This makes the boat suitable for relaxed cruising, allowing comfortable sailing solo or as a couple. Comfort and layout: cabin with 4 berths and manual toilet The Feeling 720KS offers a compact but functional cabin layout with four fixed berths. This allows overnight stays on board without having to convert berths each time. A manual toilet is installed; the toilet discharge is routed directly to open water. For buyers, this is an important point to consider depending on the intended cruising area and local regulations. Deck equipment and safety: pulpit and pushpit seats, guardrails and swim ladder On deck, the boat is fitted with pulpit and pushpit seats, guardrails, and a swim ladder, making it easier to move around on deck and to board from the water or from a pontoon. One anchor is included with chain and line. In addition, an electric bilge pump is installed, contributing to basic safety and comfort during use. Trailer and handling: road trailer and aids for mast stepping A strong selling point is that a road trailer without registration is included (year of manufacture 1977) with four rollers. This makes it possible to store and transport the boat and explore different sailing areas without a permanent berth.  This makes the Feeling 720KS an attractive choice for anyone looking for a trailerable cabin sailboat with variable draft, practical onboard electrics, and a complete basic inventory. Thanks to the combination of sailing enjoyment, compact dimensions, and usable interior space, this model is suitable for both beginner and experienced sailors considering a versatile 7.5-metre-class sailboat.
