The Adrena First software without included cartography is an excellent route planning tool based on the boat’s speed polars and weather conditions, providing assistance for offshore navigation. Developed by the Adrena team for Offshore Sailing, Adrena First is based on isochrone calculation for high precision.
It calculates the best possible route in terms of speed and safety using the following data: departure date and location, destination, boat speed polars, and wind conditions (in Grib format).
