The Kirie boatyard at Les Sables d'Olonne
was founded in 1912 by the Kirie family, originally as a wooden
boatbuilder, mainly of motor boats. They launched the 'Feeling'
series of production GRP yachts in 1980, and various Feeling
models are still in production. Feeling are one of the few
boatbuilders to offer drop keel options on most of their range.
The Feeling 326 was built from 1988 onwards,
and was designed by Gilles Vaton. The interior layout has
a double berthed forecabin, a light and airy saloon, and a
good heads compartment, plus a double aftcabin |
