I'd never heard of the brand (French and out of business now) but there's one in really nice shape nearby
for sale that I'm interested in. Mainly looking for a reliable coastal cruiser for
San Francisco Bay, the
delta, and every couple of years down to the Channel Islands:
1996 Kirie Feeling 416 sloop Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
My only very slight concerns so far are that it draws 6.5' (which is doable but on the deep side for the delta) and it has a spade
rudder without a skeg.
Anyhow, looking for thoughts and opinions (or even wild speculation

) on the quality of these boats!
