Adrena

ADRENA is a company specialized in navigation software and performance analysis. Located near Nantes in France, ADRENA provides a complete and evolving range of products to the world of sailing. With its software Octopus, Standard and Pro, ADRENA, a leader in software development for cruising, regatta sailing and ocean racing, addresses the needs of both yachtsmen and high-level sailors.

In 2003, ADRENA launched its first software Optima (now Optima Pro), which is still today the only one able to generate real speed polars and performance studies from water records.

In 2006, ADRENA software introduced the Sailect function, which was developed in collaboration with North Sails France, and allows the navigator to optimize ranges of true wind speed and angle for individual sails.

ADRENA’s complete offer includes a powerful routing calculation module which contributes to the reputation of the company.

ADRENA assists skippers along their navigation and provides tactical decision-making tools adapted to their needs: GRIB weather files loading, performance analysis, routing, etc. Plus, various functions related to MOB, AIS or alarms are available to enhance navigation safety for all levels of sailing – cruising, regatta and offshore racing too.

ADRENA now supplies 100% of Vendée Globe and Volvo Ocean Race skippers and has never stopped developing and perfecting its products. ADRENA is also a partner of Transat Jacques Vabre, Transat New York Vendée – Les Sables d’Olonne, Transquadra, etc

In 2014, ADRENA decided to diversify its activities by using its expertise in routing optimization and performance analysis to enter a new market, commercial shipping. The company created AdrenaShip, a navigation software aimed at freighter, ferry, tanker, LNG, fishing boat, Offshore operations, cruiser, Super Yacht, etc. The objective of this software is to calculate the route and speed for each ship voyage, optimizing fuel consumption, operating cost and ETA while enhancing navigation safety.

In 2018, ADRENA innovated again and decided to open up to the cruising market. The company released Octopus, a software dedicated to leisure and voyage. Benefiting from ADRENA expertise, it is aimed at cruising enthusiasts looking for a tool especially developed for their needs. Powerful yet intuitive, Octopus provides multiple functions for comfort and safety optimization along the voyage such as routing calculation – with the possibility to analyze all routes from the fastest to the safest or the most economical – a mooring assistance graphic module and assistance for speed polars and sails usage charts creation (Sailects). Multiple functions linked to safety such as MOB, AIS and alarms are also included in Octopus.

ADRENA innovations keep moving forward excellence, thanks to its specialization in three different fields: ocean racing, shipping and leisure cruising. Every day, we offer our know-how to our clients, providing them with software tools to reach and exceed their ambitions.
