Introducing the Patrik GT-3 FRC.
3-CAM FREERACE SAIL COMBINING SLALOM PERFORMANCE AND FREERIDE HANDLING.
OVERVIEW
The GT3-FRC is the little sister of our competition slalom sail RaceSF. Many updates and modifications make this sail light and easy in your hands. At the same time, the GT3 doesn't lose its racing DNA. Fabio Canella and Patrik Diethelm gave it a narrower mast sleeve while mainly keeping the original panels of the RaceSF. The softer mast sleeve material makes the sail more responsive 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.

CONSTRUCTION
At first glance, this sail might appear to be just an "orange" version of our freeride sail. But it's not! The GT-3 FRC is the true entry point to the well-known PATRIK racing department, and we have selected the best materials accordingly.
Protected inside the sleeve 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.
Then, moving 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 adds some extra resistance to this high-stress area.
The main panels are a solid and thick 5 MIL clear monofilm (which provides the best combination of weight and good shape stability) and a 4 MIL orange-tinted monofilm for the top part, where we maximize lightness and UV resistance, since it is not necessary to see through it.
For 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.
TRIM
With the true DNA of a competition slalom sail, the GT3 needs the same downhaul as a modern racing sail. Use the color prints on the batten sleeves as an indicator for the right amount of loose leech. Only with the open leech will the sail show its full potential.
PRO TIPS
"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."
KARINJAGGI (24x World Champion)
"Sometimes the impossible is possible. This sail is super fast with almost the same high-end control as the RaceSF but with much easier handling. Try it for yourself and you won't believe how stable and fast it is!"
PATRIK DIETHELM (Head of R&D)
