Kirie Elite 326? Anyone?
Anyone familiar with this boat, the Kirie Elite 326? Looked at one in
Maryland today. Quite nice, but wondering if anyone here knows about her build quality and specs. Hard to find details on her. Thanks in advance, Robert B NY |

First we have to find out what year was the boat build and where.
In the late 1980 up to 1992 Kirie got money from the Government and started building sailboats outside Quebec City (Berniere). The woodwork and many other components were made in France and shipped to Berniere for assembly. When I visited their plant in Berniere in 1993 they had a 326 that was about 2/3 completed. They told me that if I bought the boat they would get back some workers and finish the boat. I did not buy the boat. Soon after the plan in Quebec was closed and they started making fiberglass swimming pools and sauna. At the time, these boat were build in Berniere I did not traced any quality standards implemented in their plant. The workers used were occasional and no continuity was found in their labor force. Conversely the boats build in France may have had a more experienced work force and quality control. FWIW wrote in message oups.com... Anyone familiar with this boat, the Kirie Elite 326?

Hi, Denis
She's a 1990. I'd have to query the owner about where she was built. Robert B NY |
