About Adrena This year once again, Adrena has proved to be the reference in the field of navigational and racing perfor- mance software. In terms of research and innovation, the company is at the forefront, and is constantly developing its products to provide software that is even more efficient and performs even better. These programs, which have been developed with the help of the best ocean racers and routers, have already convinced top competitors. Whether for the Transat Jacques Vabre, the Solitaire du Figaro, the Route du Rhum or the Volvo Ocean Race, more and more racing sailors are using...

Adrena software Adrena is high-performance navigation software specially designed for racing. In addition to classic navigational and cartographic functions, it is an excellent tool for helping with tactical decisions. It calculates more than 100 items of data for the tactician. Each phase of the race is set and the software automatically adapts to the current phase of the race. During the start phase, once the markers and the stopwatch have been entered, the chart is centred on the line and its laylines and shows the safe starting area. There are specific digital displays: stopwatch, time and...

Routing Module ^ The^outln^Tr^lule calculates the best course for inshore and ocean races. It provides navigators with a useful racing and course optimisation tool. The Routing module displays the wind, current, pressure and precipita- tion GRIB on the charts; GRIBs can be downloaded from most sources of weather data, particu- larly using the GRIB.US application. The software has a direct interface The course is calculated from the parameters chosen: start, destination, calculation parameters, polars, wind, current and dangers to avoid. Several successive course calculations can be obtained by...

RoutingPro Module The RoutingPro module has been specially developed for ocean racing. It has more features than the Routing module and provides the specialist with a complete high performance course study tool. It is powerful, with exclusive functions, and is unequalled on the market for working on routing strategy. The RoutingPro module can display more information on the chart such as wave and high altitude wind GRIBs. Several simultaneous GRIBs can be displayed and used in calculations on a single route plan. This module makes the exchange of information with the team ashore easy : - It exports...

A The^dreña^^module and an AIS receiver connected to the onboard PC guarantee safety when sailing. The AIS (Automatic Identification System) module continually monitors the various vessels transmitting in the area, which makes sailing safer particularly in dangerous areas or when sailing in fog. Au plus ptoche 2 72Mn (s'éloigna) (<l goise devant) Boats can be monitored by their positions and their courses being displayed on The various AIS vessels in the area appear in green as do the tracks of their route and the representation of their course over ground. By putting the mouse near each of them,...

A The^ctigu^^Tmodule is intended for high level racing and match racing. It adds to the functions of the Adrena software and has advanced functions for dealing with windward- leeward loops. The TactiquePro module takes into account the inertial and rotational character- istics of the boat to calculate and display all the hypothetical ways of crossing the line: directly, tacking or gibing, passing by one of the laylines, passing from any point in the starting area to reach the committee boat or the buoy. The starting area is displayed in real size (line/boat/laylines by steps of a length) and...

Optima is the reference software for creating the real speed polar curves of a sailing vessel. It is simple to use and available to all, and can produce very accurate performance or routing polars. It is useful both for route planning and racing. ____ oiblo 07.5nd ciblo OS.Snd target 07.2nd dictt layllna nstrument calibration First of all, Optima can very simply calibrate the navigational instruments : - The speedo can be calibrated by making one to three runs of Va to 1 mile using the engine in the axis of the current. - The windvane is aligned by making one run beating on starboard tack and...

Sailect® displays the ranges of use of each sail. This is an exclusive function, totally integrated into Optima. Developed by Adrena in cooperation with North Sails, the sailmakers, the Sailect® module symbolises the innovative character of Optima software. It is very simple to use, continually telling you whether your sails are suitable for the current wind conditions, and anticipates the best sails to use on the following tacks. In particular, with Sailect® the boat's sail wardrobe can be optimised during design or when sailing. Creation of a Sailect® (OptimaPro module) The Sailect® is created...

OptimaPro allows additional parameters to be added for calculating polars. It is added to the Optima software and constructs very refined polars for the most demanding sailors by integrating sail configurations, fins, keel and ballasts. Selective recording for in-context calculations With the OptimaPro module, recordings can be made for a given sailing con- figuration: the sails set, the position of fins and keel, the filling of ballast tanks, the type of crew, of helmsman etc. For each sailing context selected, a polar can be calculated subject to a whole battery of parameters. The ultimate...

optima aorena Data Logger A "OffWers^^saTe complete versions of Adrena and Optima software that cannot be connected Particularly intended for sailmakers, routers ashore, trainers and anyone sailing boats which are not equipped with onboard computers (Mini 6.50s, Olympic boats etc.), these versions can be upgraded at any time to their connectable boat versions. These non-connectable "off versions are sold at half the price of the connectable boat versions. gger is a real "black box" for boats without computers such as the Mini 6.50s or Olympic boats.
