Feeling 1350 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used Feeling 1350 means stepping into Ron Holland's 1985-launched 45-foot performance cruiser, a boat that still reads as a serious sailor's vessel rather than a bland production float. The Kirie-built sloop pairs a 22,050-pound displacement with a 7-foot 6-inch fin keel and a spade rudder, and her Holland lines have kept her credible on the market as a capable offshore passagemaker.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common configuration available to buyers, though two-cabin versions also turn up. Ex-charter boats are a common sight in this model, a point worth weighing for wear and tear on systems and interior joinery. Berth counts on the 1350 ranged from four to eight depending on the layout chosen, so a buyer should confirm which version a given hull represents before assuming guest capacity offered with from four to eight berths.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Well-found examples on the used market commonly carry an inverter, solar panels, and a wind generator as part of a self-sufficient power and energy cluster, often joined by a Starlink terminal for connectivity. For passage-making, a spinnaker, AIS, autopilot, and chartplotter are commonly fitted, and a life raft with hot water round out the typical offshore inventory. A buyer should verify the age and condition of this gear rather than assume it is turnkey.
What to Inspect
The Kirie-era hull-to-deck joint was a flush horizontal inward flange, through-bolted and laminated over inside beneath an aluminum toe-rail; examine that seam for any sign of fastener weep or interior delamination. The balsa-cored superstructure above a solid fiberglass hull deserves a moisture survey, since core saturation is the classic failure mode of this construction type. With a 50-horsepower Perkins diesel on a direct drive, confirm engine access and cooling history as part of any survey.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The Feeling 1350 is typically found in Martinique and Spain. For a shopper, the shortlist is clear: confirm whether the hull is an ex-charter example, verify the core and hull-deck joint, test the installed energy and navigation gear, and match the berth layout to intended use.
- Prioritize owner three-cabin over ex-charter if condition is equal
- Survey the balsa core and through-bolted deck joint
- Verify solar, wind, inverter, and autopilot function
- Check the Perkins diesel service history
