{"product_id":"patrik-gt-3-frc","title":"PATRIK GT-3 FRC","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOVERVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GT3-FRC is the little sister of our competition slalom sail RaceSF. Based on the concept and panels of this contest winning fin and foil hybrid race sail the GT3-FRC performs equally well on fin AND foil. Many updates and modifications make this sail light and easy in your hands. At the same the GT3 doesn't lose its racing DNA. Fabio Canella and Patrik Diethelm gave it a more narrow mastsleeve while mainly keeping the original panels of the RaceSF. The softer mastsleeve material makes the sail more alive and a little more forgiving. Designed to work best on RDM masts, this sail will ship with a second set of cambers so it can be rigged on SDM too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRide the TEST-WINNER!\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith impressive total of 57.5 out of 60 points the GT3-FRC has been a clear winner in the French Planchemag 2\/3 cam freerace sail test May '23.\u003cbr\u003eThe GT3-FRCV got maximum points for topspeed-control, maneuvre handling, camber-rotation and ease of use on fin and at the same time winning the best performace on foil!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt first sight, this sail could appear just as an \"orange\" version of our freeride sail. But it's not! The GT-3 FRC is the true entry to the well-known PATRIK racing department and we selected the best materials accordingly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProtected inside the sleeve there is a thick 7 MIL monofilm luff panel (same as in our pure racing 4-cam sails) which provides the best stiffness and a locked profile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen -going towards the clew- we added a full vertical set of 5 MIL x-ply panels before the main body panels. This \"stripe\" helps to smooth and control the direct feeling of the cambered sails and it adds some extra resistance to this high stressed area.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe main panels are a solid and thick 5 MIL clear monofilm (which provides best combo between weight and a good shape stability) and a 4 MIL orange tinted monofilm for the top part, where we maximize lightness and UV-resistance, since it's not needed to see through.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the base and leech areas we kept 5 MIL x-ply materials. A real win-win mix: it gives protection to the most exposed zone of the sail and it keeps the rear edge of the sail stable and aerodynamically clean even in hi-wind choppy conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTRIM\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the true DNA of a competition slalom sail, the GT3 needs the same downhaul than a modern racing sail. Use the colour prints on the batten sleeves as an indicator for the right amount of loose leech. Only with the open leech the sail will show it's full potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePRO TIPS\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-8 col-lg-8\" data-be-plugin=\"editor\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKARIN JAGGI (24x World Champion)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Sometimes the raw power of a pure competition sail is simply too much. With this sail I can have the same speed, same control but a way easier handling. The sailing is less physical and I might even be faster than on a competition slalom sail in the end. I recommend the GT3 to any rider who wants to be the fastest at the spot with a smile on his face.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-8 col-lg-8\" data-be-plugin=\"editor\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePATRIK DIETHELM (Head of R\u0026amp;D)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Sometimes the impossible is possible.
