2004 Feeling 44 Di
“S/V Halcyon”
Step aboard s/v Halcyon, a 2004 Feeling 44 DI created for sailors who refuse to choose between offshore performance and shallow-water freedom. Exceptionally rare in U.S. waters, Halcyon is currently the only Feeling 44 DI offered for sale in the United States across major MLS-powered yacht platforms—an uncommon opportunity to acquire this sought-after French design without sourcing a vessel overseas.
This distinctive cruiser pairs a rugged, single-piece hull with a lifting centerboard, twin rudders, and winged ballast keel, delivering confident passage-making with draft adjustable from 2 feet 4 inches to 8 feet 5 inches. Cruise the Bahamas, explore Florida’s west coast, or set a course across open water—all aboard one capable yacht.
Halcyon offers a bright three-cabin, two-head interior, approximately 6 feet 6 inches of headroom, a spacious saloon, secure seagoing galley, and dedicated navigation station. Her short-handed sail plan includes furling main and genoa, while a bow thruster, electric windlass, Garmin multifunction displays and radar, Raymarine autopilot, Class A AIS, solar panels, and wind generator support easier cruising. A 78 hp Volvo Penta diesel provides dependable auxiliary power.
For buyers seeking offshore capability, shoal-draft access, and genuine market scarcity, Halcyon represents a singular U.S. offering.

Construction, Keel & Steering
Built for offshore strength, the hull is molded as a single solid structure, while the vacuum-bagged sandwich deck provides stiffness with efficient weight. Reinforced floor beams distribute mast and rigging loads, and the bulkheads are fully bonded to the hull and deck to form a strong, unified structure.
The cast-iron ballast keel is faired into the hull and fitted with stabilizing winglets, allowing the yacht to take the ground without additional supports. A streamlined centerboard, raised and lowered by a 12V hydro-electric pump with manual hydraulic backup, adjusts draft for offshore performance or shallow-water access. Twin balanced GRP rudders on stainless-steel stocks maintain control when heeled. Molded GRP skegs protect the propeller shaft, and deck fittings are molybdenum stainless steel or anodized light alloy for durability in marine environments.

A large self-draining chain locker with an eye bolt secures the ground tackle, and a vertical electric windlass simplifies anchoring.
