User Guide
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, 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.
