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.
Why Choose the F-One Frigate v2 Parawing
With its wider wind range, intuitive Double Dynamic Bridle System, effortless Pack Assist stashing, and lightweight Ultra Light Ribs construction, the F-One Frigate v2 sets the standard for downwind foiling parawings. Stable, comfortable, and exceptionally efficient upwind, it’s the compact performance parawing of choice for intermediate to experienced riders chasing longer downwinders and faster coastal exploration.
Pack Assist: Stash It in Seconds
The new Pack Assist system uses a set of front bridles that instantly reduce the wing’s power. Riders simply slide a hand a few centimeters along the white spliced bridles, and the parawing immediately goes neutral, naturally adopting a stable shape for the downwind run and ready to be stowed in a stash belt. This design eliminates the need for a depower handle altogether, keeping the bridle setup clean and making the Frigate v2 easier than ever to use and pack away.
Ultra Light Ribs Technology
Every element of the support structure — ribs, mini ribs, and diagonal ribs — has been optimized and lightened to minimize overall weight. This innovative construction improves packability, helps the wing stay aloft in light wind, and delivers stronger accelerations for speed-focused riders.
New Vertical Carbon Bar
The Frigate v2’s vertical carbon bar features a molded design with added front-end length for improved grip and comfort near the front bridles, plus a true support point that excels in strong wind. The slight bar extension makes sheeting out easier without extra effort or wrist strain, balances pressure between the front and back hand, and reduces front-hand load when riding without a harness — for intuitive handling and a faster learning curve.
A small shielding tube at the A-point protects the rider’s fingers when the wing pivots at full sheet-out or during packing, while also raising the rotation point for smoother handling and more efficient depower. The bar is finished with an EVA grip for secure handling and EVA bumpers on every angle to protect both rider and gear from impact.
Hybrid Fabric Construction (5.5 & 6.5 m²)
The larger Frigate v2 sizes (5.5 m² and 6.5 m²) are built using two premium fabrics chosen for performance, durability, and packability. A stronger 32g fabric on the front section maintains profile and stability, while a lighter, softer fabric on the rear section and underside cuts weight. These sizes also feature a hybrid trailing-edge construction that’s 20% lighter, helping the wing stay in the air longer, improving responsiveness, and boosting low-end performance.
Convenient On-Water Bag
The Frigate v2 comes with a purpose-built bag that doubles as a backpack and can be worn directly on the water. Riders can pack the parawing straight into the bag mid-session, with quick-drying materials that keep gear ready for the next run.
