Version 23 of Adrena is a continuation of the navigation software familiar to yachtsmen and racers alike. Without altering the fundamentals, this update brings a series of targeted developments in three areas: navigation preparation, monitoring at sea and safety. These functions concern users of Adrena Octopus, both Standard and Pro.
An enriched common base for navigation preparation
Adrena V23 incorporates several improvements that are common to all versions of the software. Automatic downloading of GRIB files prior to routing simplifies weather preparation and reduces repetitive handling, particularly during successive navigations.
The on-board polar catalog has been expanded with the ability to import files in CSV format, including polars from ORC classes. These polars can be saved and associated with separate map configurations, making it easy to switch from one program to another.
Mapping also benefits from useful additions, such as highlighting the object being tracked when routing, a waypoint or an AIS target, or displaying MRCC coverage with geolocated CROSS contacts, enabling you to quickly identify your home center should the need arise.
Safety and environment: new on-board alerts
Version 23 introduces the Hazard Button function. It allows users to signal and receive information on the presence of marine mammals or areas of danger to navigation. This function is part of a logic of sharing information between navigators, while providing concrete help in monitoring and anticipating risks.
Alarm management has been redesigned. They are now grouped together in a single window, with a clearer hierarchy. Alarms can be set up directly from numerical data, reducing set-up time and minimizing oversights in real-life situations.
Radar, AIS and integrated data
Adrena V23 enhances external data integration. The radar overlay is now compatible with Furuno radars, a point eagerly awaited by many users navigating at night or in reduced visibility.
The display of AIS targets becomes even clearer, with the option of storing only data from tracked targets in the trace. For post-sailing analysis or debriefing, traces can integrate wave data from GRIB files when exported.
Fleet navigation, a milestone reached
Adrena Octopus introduces the Auto Rally function. It enables boats to be tracked automatically when sailing in a fleet, whether as part of a convoy or during organized transatlantic races. The principle is based on the automation of weather downloads and tracking, reducing the need for manual actions on board.
On Adrena Standard, the Auto Entraînement function allows you to monitor the fleet ashore during training sessions. A tool designed for clubs, coaches and crews wishing to analyze trajectories and choices after sailing.
Specific tools for regattas
The Pro version benefits from several race-oriented evolutions. FFV dynamic beacons, whether buoys or organization boats, can now be displayed in real time. A direct benefit for race directors and sailors involved in coastal regattas.
Routing also evolves with a variable time step on the isochrones, enabling faster and more precise calculations according to zones and weather conditions. A significant gain for complex routing or short courses where reactivity is paramount.
Ergonomics refined without breaking
In addition to its functions, Adrena V23 has also improved overall ergonomics. Smoother map navigation, simplified alarm management, grouping of key information in single windows. The objective remains the same: rapid access to useful information without visual overload.
Version 23 does not seek to transform the tool, but to refine it. A gradual evolution, designed for real-life onboard use, from coastal cruising to regattas, fleet navigation and training.
