FRIGATE 2
Wider wind range: Increased efficiency throughout the entire wind range and enhanced stability in the high end. Outstanding speed and upwind performance: Higher aspect ratio and an optimized profile with a greater number of ribs for sharper accelerations, better upwind ability in both low and high end, and increased top speed. Increased responsiveness: Additional ribs for greater tautness and improved pumping efficiency. Easier handling and packing: New Double Dynamic Bridle System, shorter bridles and Pack Assist for improved maneuverability, quicker deployment and stashing, and fewer tangles. Increased depower: Greater depower for more comfortable riding in the high end and the ability to ride with smaller foils and boards. Optimized construction: New fabrics and Ultra Light Ribs construction for reduced weight and greater responsiveness. New vertical bar: A more ergonomic design for better grip, increased comfort and maximum depower. This new FRIGATE boasts a refined profile featuring a higher aspect ratio, delivering better efficiency upwind and faster accelerations. Combined with additional ribs, the FRIGATE is more reactive and benefits from improved pumping capabilities, particularly in the low end. Overall, the wind range of this FRIGATE is wider, making this parawing incredibly versatile and delivering consistent performance from the low end to the high end alike. It generates smooth, efficient power in lighter winds while remaining stable and predictable when the breeze builds. The new Double Dynamic Bridle System, with fewer connection points, makes the parawing feel more direct while reducing the risk of tangles. Combined with shorter bridles and the new Pack Assist system, the FRIGATE is quicker to deploy, easier to stash and more intuitive to handle before, during and after every run. The new vertical carbon bar further enhances comfort with improved ergonomics and maximum depower when needed. Every size has been optimized to achieve the same performance and intuitive handling while reducing overall weight. All sizes benefit from the new Ultra Light Ribs Technology, reducing weight without compromising stiffness, as well as from a new, softer fabric that packs down smaller.
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.
