The Feeling 486 is a proven performance cruiser built by the Kirie Shipyard in 1997. The Kirie shipyard has long been celebrated for crafting high-quality, seaworthy vessels, with the Feeling series earning particular acclaim for blending speed, comfort, and durability in bluewater cruisers.
Constructed using traditional hand-laid fiberglass techniques with premium marine polyester resins, woven roving, and mat, her hull was specially treated to prevent osmosis, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
Designed by Gilles Vaton, the Feeling 486 excels as a capable passage-maker, thanks to her long waterline, efficient sail plan, and sleek lines. She delivers impressive speed and upwind performance with the inner staysail (solent), while the genoa shines on broad reaches—perfectly suiting her name, “Long Reach”. Yet she’s remarkably easy to handle, even single-handed, with a thoughtful hull form and secure cockpit that prioritize safety and comfort offshore.
Below decks, the interior is bright and well ventilated, featuring a spacious C-shaped settee to port that comfortably seats eight or more. Opposite is an intuitive and highly functional galley.
Accommodation includes three primary cabins, two heads, and a versatile bunk cabin ideal for crew, children, or additional storage. She sleeps eight in comfort, with abundant stowage throughout. Acquired by her current owners in 2022, she has benefited from thoughtful upgrades to accommodate an island-hopping lifestyle.
The owners have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the British, US, and Spanish Virgin Islands over the past few years aboard “Long Reach”. With a recent land-based home purchase, they are offering their beloved floating home to her next fortunate owner, ready for new adventures and already located in some of the best cruising grounds in the world!
