The Feeling 850, introduced by the Kirié shipyard in 1983, represents a pivotal moment in French yacht design where the focus shifted from heavy, traditional cruising boats toward modern, performance-oriented hull shapes and airy interiors. Designed by Philippe Briand, a naval architect synonymous with racing success and contemporary aesthetics, the Feeling 850 was the vessel that effectively launched the "Feeling" brand identity. It replaced the shipyard’s older "Fifty" range of motorsailers with a sleek, light-displacement cruiser that could compete on the regatta circuit while providing genuine comfort for a family of four.
