Feeling 446 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a used Feeling 446 means looking at a 45-foot Kirie-built cruiser designed by Philippe Harlé and Mortain & Mavrikios, with production starting in 1990. She carries a masthead sloop rig, a solid fibreglass hull, and a choice of deep or shoal keel, and the used fleet splits between private Owners' and ex-charter four-cabin layouts. Knowing which version and which upgrades are in front of you matters more than any single hull number.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available, and ex-charter examples are common. The three-cabin Owners' version gives a larger galley and more storage, while the four-cabin charter version packs more berths with a smaller galley. Both versions keep two heads, one ensuite to the aft cabin, and both share the bright saloon with U-shaped settee, convertible table, and navigation station. A buyer should decide early whether berth count or galley and stowage precedence fits their plans.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used fleet, a swim platform and teak decks are commonly fitted, the two upgrades with the most consequence for boarding comfort and deck aesthetics. The teak demands regular maintenance to avoid premature wear, while the swim platform shapes how you use the stern at anchor. Beyond those, most other gear varies by individual owner and should be judged on condition rather than assumed present.
What to Inspect
The 446 was built in two keel configurations — a deep fin drawing 2.0 m and a shoal keel drawing 1.6 m — both with a spade rudder anchor, so confirm which is under the hull and whether the rudder and keel bolts show service history. The deck-stepped mast sits on a compression post, and the rig carries a main with slab reefing plus lazy jacks and a roller-furling genoa; check the gooseneck, lazy-jack hardware, and furler for wear. The L-shaped galley with fridge and freezer, and the two heads, should be run and drained to reveal any hidden leaks.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the 446 include Italy, the United States, and New Caledonia. For a buyer, the short checklist is: choose Owners' versus charter layout by need, verify keel draft and rudder condition, confirm rig and deck-stepped mast compression post integrity, and budget for teak deck upkeep if fitted. The 446 remains a roomy, manageable cruiser wherever you find her.
