Unlike its younger sisters, Feeling 39 is designed by a renowned expert on high-speed sailing vessels. Philippe Brian.. This fact had the most radical impact on the performance of this cruiser – Feeling 39 not only knows how to walk noticeably steeper to the wind than most of her classmates, she also does it faster than others. Her performance on sharp courses is sufficient to make this yacht a performance cruiser. In the foreign press Feeling 39 is sometimes referred to as an “inflated skiff”, meaning that the yacht’s performance is similar to that of a light skiff in terms of its running characteristics (and especially its acceleration in gusts of wind).
The firm itself referred to the concept of this yacht as Multihull fraction, and later coined the term “monomaran”, meaning that this boat, as a single hull, combines the features of a catamaran – like that: low draft (70 centimeters with keel raised), very large interior volumes and excellent dynamics under sails.
