Summary
'Gabrielle' is a fine example of the Feeling 326. Built by Kirie Yachts of France in 1989 to a Philipe Harle design, she proved popular and stayed in build until 1999. Compared to other production boats of the era, she was beamy, offered generous accommodation and used light wood. That coupled with the large hull and coachroof windows provided lots of natural light which was unusual for the time. The model did suffer with headlining issues but they are not prevalant on 'Gabrielle'.
She is clean, welcoming, easy to sail thanks to her in-mast furling main and boasts a recent chart plotter. Cabin heating extends the season.
