The Feeling 920, introduced by the Kirié shipyard in the early 1980s, is a quintessential French cruiser that epitomizes the "Feeling" philosophy: a blend of performanceoriented hull design and clever, voluminous interior living. Designed by the renowned naval architect Philippe Briand, the 920 arrived during a golden era for Kirié, competing directly with the Jeanneau Attalia and the Beneteau First 305. Produced between approximately 1981 and 1987, it bridged the gap between smaller coastal cruisers and more serious offshorecapable vessels. The boat was offered in two distinct configurations: a deep fin keel for optimized upwind performance and a "Lesté Dériveur" (weighted lifting keel) version, which became a hallmark of the Feeling range's versatility, allowing sailors to explore shallow anchorages and tidal estuaries.
