F-One Frigate 2

Description

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.

F-One Frigate Pocket Wing features:

• 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.
• Double Dynamic Bridle System: The innovative Double Dynamic Bridle System allows the removal of the B-connector on the bar without adding any yoke, pulley, or complex bridle layout, resulting in a system that’s as clean and simple as it is effective. The reduced complexity minimizes any risk of tangling while delivering precise feedback and intuitive power control.
• Pack Assist: The Pack Assist system uses a set of front bridles that immediately reduces the wing’s power. Simply slide your hand a few centimeters along the white spliced bridles, and the parawing instantly becomes neutral.
• Ultra Light Ribs: The entire support structure, including the ribs, mini ribs and diagonal ribs, has been
  optimized and lightened to reduce weight to a minimum. This innovative construction improves packability, helps the wing stay in the air in light winds, and delivers stronger accelerations for riders looking for speed.
• Vertical Bar: The parawing features a vertical carbon bar designed with a molded piece and added length at the front. This design improves grip and comfort, especially near the front bridles, while providing a true support point that is particularly effective in high winds.
• Hybrid Fabric: The bigger sizes (5.5, 6.5 m²) of the FRIGATE are developed using two premium fabrics, each selected to meet the specific demands of performance, durability and packability.
• Bag: Designed for maximum convenience, this parawing’s bag can be used as a backpack and worn directly on the water.

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.

The larger sizes (5.5, 6.5 m²) also feature a hybrid fabric construction on the trailing section that is 20% lighter. This helps these parawings stay in the air, improves responsiveness and enhances low-end performance. Thanks to its stability, intuitive handling, comfort and exceptional upwind performance, the FRIGATE remains the reference choice for intermediate to experienced riders looking for a compact, efficient and high-performance parawing.
