Krie's had a pretty large presense on the Chesapeake in the 1980's with local dealers and boats at the Annapolis Boat Show. Krie is an older French company that, produced a variety of boats and had several lines, Feeling and Elite being two of them. I have sailed on several of Elites over the years (I was docked next to one for a while belonging to one of my former wife's friend). The designs were okay for that era, most were IOR based, had nice interior layouts but had pretty poor deck hardware and deck plans. I would agree that they were pretty much on a par with the Beneteau First Series, and perhaps a step up from the Oceanis of that era.
