QUEST
Accessible, comfortable, and intuitive: excellent depower, increased control and stability, and smoothness even in difficult conditions. Easy stashing and compact size: softer canopy and shorter lines for easy stashing and reduced volume when folded. New Double Dynamic Bridle System: for ultra-precise bar feedback and intuitive power management. Reduced connection points in A/C: the bridles are connected at only two points on the ends of the bar, without a central “B” line. This offers total freedom of hand position on the bar and reduces potential tangles. Pack Assist: a new bridle architecture drastically reduces the tension of the bridles during the packing phase. Packing is faster, more efficient, and more comfortable. New vertical bar: a more ergonomic design for better grip and maximum depower. Freedom to wander about: designed for those who prioritize comfort and downwind performance over speed and ultimate upwind performance. The QUEST’s softer canopy, shorter lines and simplified panel layout, create a pocket wing that’s very light, smooth in the turns, and painless to stow and redeploy. With its outstanding depower, easy pumping ability and great stability, the QUEST always feels steady and predictable, even when conditions get rough. It may not deliver as much speed as the FRIGATE, but it makes up for it with control and comfort that lets you ease effortlessly into the bumps. The QUEST introduces a new Double Dynamic Bridle System that makes the pocket wing feel more direct, easier to handle, and that minimizes the risk of tangling. It also delivers smooth, intuitive power control with precise feedback through the bar. Beginners will appreciate the extra back-hand feel when sheeting in and effortless depower that simplifies their first sessions, while experienced riders will enjoy a great compromise between lightness and high-end performance, as well as the pocket wing's natural balance. The new ergonomic bar improves grip and comfort, while keeping everything simple and efficient to give you plenty of confidence and control. This vertical bar also further increases the maximum depower range of the QUEST, allowing riders to control the pocket wing more effectively and intuitively, as well as comfortably ride across a wide wind range even without a harness line. Compact, light and forgiving, the QUEST strips everything back to what really matters: it’s all about setting off and seeing where the swell takes you.
FRIGATE
• Exceptional upwind performance: speed up your ride upwind, spend more time downwinding. • Stability and comfort: a precise, consistent ride, even in gusty winds. • Compact design: easy to stash, easy to deploy. • Revolutionary dynamic bridle system: for maximum control of the shape and tension of the sail in the sheet-in/sheet-out position. • Wide wind range: ride all day with the same size, even if the wind picks up. • Durability, rigidity and lightness: thanks to Porcher's top-of-the-range fabric and LIROS bridles. Pocket winging can sometimes feel a bit technical, which is why we've designed the FRIGATE to be incredibly easy to use. Thanks to its stability, intuitive handling, comfort and exceptional upwind performance, it lets you focus on what's important. The FRIGATE stands out for its quick and effortless upwind ability. Its aerodynamic design generates a forward pull that facilitates going upwind, combining immediate power with efficient acceleration, making it also possible to use smaller foils. Stability and control are maintained, even when sheeted out, for an efficient, comfortable ride in all conditions. Thanks to its stiff leading edge, optimized canopy tension and minimalist bridle system, the FRIGATE benefits from reduced drag and optimal airflow, bringing stability, performance and a wider wind range. This wide wind range means you can ride all day without changing size. In the low end, the FRIGATE offers constant power with minimal effort. In the high end, it remains stable and predictable, even when the wind increases. The FRIGATE features a revolutionary dynamic bridle system, designed to optimize the shape of the pocket wing in both sheeted-in and sheeted-out positions, without any adjustment required from the rider. This innovative, pulley-free system automatically adjusts the different tensions of the sail, lessens creases and risks of entanglement, offers better upwind performance, and maximizes performance in both high and low end. The FRIGATE is easy and intuitive to handle, thanks to its short bridle and reassuring color code, further limiting the risk of tangling. The top of the bar, the top bridles (A), and the leading edge all share the same color as well for greater ease and comprehension during the session. Once deployed, it is immediately ready to perform. Ultra-compact, it can be stowed quickly, allowing you to set off again in the blink of an eye, and to spend more time downwinding and less time going upwind. Its lightweight, ergonomic carbon bar ensures precise, comfortable steering. Even with one hand, every movement is smooth and intuitive. The choice of materials reflects F-ONE's standards. Made from Porcher fabric renowned for its quality, rigidity and durability, the FRIGATE retains its performance over time. This waterproof material also ensures the FRIGATE remains light and easy to re-launch, even if it falls in the water. Additionally, top-quality LIROS bridles offer excellent resistance to abrasion and dependability. The FRIGATE is designed to maximize your freedom and time on the water. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider in search of adventure and autonomy, it makes all your downwind runs easier. Catch it and explore.
