The Feeling 486, launched by the Kirié shipyard in the early 1990s and later produced under the Alliaura Marine banner, stands as a sophisticated example of the French "grand tourisme" sailing philosophy. Designed by the renowned naval architect Philippe Briand, the 486 was intended to compete with the premium offshore cruisers of its era, blending a highvolume interior with a hull shape capable of maintaining high average speeds over long distances. It was a flagship model that signaled Kirié’s move toward the luxury bluewater market, moving away from the smaller, liftkeel coastal cruisers that had defined the "Feeling" brand in the 1980s. The vessel is characterized by its distinctive lowprofile coachroof featuring panoramic windows—a design trait that became a signature of the Feeling range.
