The Feeling 1040, designed by the acclaimed naval architect Gilles Vaton and launched by the Kirié shipyard in 1985, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of French production yachts. While Kirié had previously built its reputation on robust motorsailers and fishing vessels, the 1040 signaled a shift toward performance-oriented cruising. Vaton, known for his work on high-speed offshore racing hulls, brought a sleekness to the 1040 that contrasted sharply with the heavier, more traditional designs of the era. This model bridged the gap between the earlier Feeling 920 and the highly successful Feeling 1090, which would eventually succeed it. Built using the shipyard's then-innovative fiberglass techniques, the 1040 remains a sought-after vessel for sailors who prioritize a balance of aesthetic modernity and sailing agility.
