Introduced in 1982 by the esteemed French shipyard Kirié, the Feeling 720 is a 24foot pocket cruiser that effectively balanced the manufacturer's racing pedigree with the emerging demand for coastal family cruising. Designed by the prolific naval architecture firm Joubert & Nivelt, the model was a commercial success, with approximately 260 units produced over a decadelong production run ending in 1992. Also marketed in North America and other export territories as the Elite 25, the 720 was pivotal in establishing the "Feeling" brand’s identity for light, responsive hulls and bright, airy interiors. The design was revolutionary for its time, being one of the first production boats of this scale to offer a highly functional ballasted centerboard version, allowing sailors to navigate the shallow swatchways of the European coastline and "dry out" in tidal harbors.
