Feeling 546 1997

The story of Feeling Yachts dates back to 1912 when the Kirié shipyard was established by the Kirié family in a modest garage on Rue de la Forêt in Sables d'Olonne. Initially focused on crafting small sailing boats, the shipyard shifted its emphasis to speed boats in the 1950s. By the late '60s, it had expanded and relocated to Château d'Olonne, becoming a pioneer in polyester construction. In the early '80s, Kirié introduced the 'Feeling' line of habitable power cruisers, with the 13.5m Feeling winning the Route du Rhum in 1986 and the 10.9m Feeling being named 'Boat of the Year' in 1987. In 2000, Alliaura Marine acquired the Kirié shipyard, and by 2010, Feeling was under the ownership of Privilège Marine Groupe. Although the Feeling boats are no longer in production, Privilège Marine continues to be renowned for its catamaran range. The Feeling 546, designed by Ron Holland and Andrew Winch, is a fast sea-going cutter constructed from fiberglass. Its exceptional build quality, along with ample fresh water and fuel storage, electricity generation, and generous living and storage spaces, make it an ideal sailboat for year-round living and global exploration. The spacious cockpit, equipped with twin steering stations, ensures comfort whether anchored or sailing.
