F-One Frigate Pocket Wing

Description

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.

F-One Frigate Pocket Wing features:

• Exceptional upwind performance: speed up your ride upwind, spend more time down winding.
• 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.
• Vertical Carbon Bar: Its lightweight small-diameter EVA grip bar is ergonomic design ensuring comfortable precise steering, even with one hand.
• Porcher Material: The Canopy of this single-skin pocket wing is made from state-of-the-art waterproof Porcher fabric which is renowned for its quality, durability and best lightness/rigidity ratio.
• Stash Handle: Featuring a small stash handle, located at arms length, makes it super easy to depower and stow it efficiently.
• Dynamic Bridle System: The FRIGATE’s revolutionary dynamic bridle system is designed to optimize the shape of this pocket wing when sheeted in and sheeted out. Bridles are activated when the sail is sheeted out and others when it is sheeted in, without any adjustment required by the rider.
• Mini-Ribs and D-Ribs: The FRIGATE’s design includes mini-ribs and D-ribs. Derived from paragliding, these allow for a better definition of the profile and a reduction in the number of bridles. This technology reinforces the sail’s structure and ensures better stability; the pocket wing is faster, stiffer, and performs better upwind.

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 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.
