The Feeling 396 DI, produced by the Kirié shipyard in France during the early 1990s, represents a pinnacle of the "Dériveur Intégral" (integral centerboard) philosophy. Designed by the renowned naval architect Gilles Vaton, this 12-meter cruiser was engineered to bridge the gap between offshore capability and shallow-water exploration. Unlike many "lifting keel" boats where a heavy bulb remains exposed, the DI system allows the ballasted centerboard to retract fully into the hull, enabling the vessel to take the ground safely on its reinforced bottom. This design choice, a signature of the Feeling Yachts legacy, redefined cruising possibilities for sailors navigating tidal waters or seeking secluded, shallow anchorages.
