F-One Frigate v2 Parawing, Colour Lava. From £746.
Catch and Stash: Faster Upwind, Further Downwind, we are using the V
The F-One Frigate v2 Parawing is engineered to help riders speed upwind, spend more time on the downwind run, and reach higher top speeds than ever before. Whether launching a long downwind mission or exploring new coastlines, the second-generation Frigate carries riders further with greater ease and efficiency. Building on the acclaimed original design, this updated parawing delivers a wider wind range, increased high-wind stability, improved low-end pumping efficiency, and sharper responsiveness — all while staying intuitive to use and easier than ever to pack away.
Ideal for intermediate to experienced riders, the Frigate v2 remains the go-to choice for anyone seeking a compact, high-performance parawing built for downwind foiling and coastal exploration.
Key Features
Wider wind range – Enhanced efficiency across the entire wind spectrum, with improved stability at the top end.
Outstanding speed and upwind performance – A higher aspect ratio and refined profile with more ribs deliver sharper acceleration, stronger upwind ability in both light and strong winds, and a higher top speed.
Increased responsiveness – Additional ribs add tautness to the canopy, boosting pumping efficiency for easier low-end performance.
Easier handling and packing – The new Double Dynamic Bridle System, shorter bridles, and the innovative Pack Assist system combine for better maneuverability, quicker deployment, faster stashing, and fewer tangled lines.
Increased depower – Greater depower range for a more comfortable ride in strong wind, and the flexibility to pair the Frigate with smaller foils and boards.
Optimized construction – New lightweight fabrics and Ultra Light Ribs technology reduce overall weight while improving responsiveness.
New vertical carbon bar – A more ergonomic design that improves grip, boosts comfort, and delivers maximum depower on demand.
Refined Performance, Wider Wind Range
The Frigate v2 features a refined profile with a higher aspect ratio, unlocking better upwind efficiency and faster accelerations. Combined with additional ribs, the parawing feels more reactive underfoot and offers noticeably improved pumping capability, especially in light wind. The result is a wider overall wind range that makes this parawing exceptionally versatile, generating smooth, efficient power in lighter conditions while staying stable and predictable as the breeze builds.
Double Dynamic Bridle System
At the heart of the Frigate v2 is the new Double Dynamic Bridle System. With fewer connection points, it gives riders a more direct feel while significantly reducing the risk of tangles. Paired with shorter bridles and the new Pack Assist system, the Frigate v2 deploys faster, stashes more easily, and handles more intuitively before, during, and after every session.
This innovative bridle system removes the B-connector from the bar without adding a yoke, pulley, or complex bridle layout — keeping the setup clean, simple, and effective. It acts simultaneously on both the front and back lines, automatically optimizing the wing’s shape and balance whether sheeted in or sheeted out, with zero manual adjustment required. The design also fully clears the bar area, giving riders a wider grip zone, greater freedom of movement, and a simpler visual read while riding — plus added comfort in high-end conditions, even without a harness.
