Skippers partnership
Roland Jourdain, skipper of MOD70 Veolia Environnement III
« To my big despair, I am not a computer born, hard or soft, it is not encoded in my genes… The evolution of our activities makes it yet even more than essential.The use of Adrena software is intuitive, very close to our needs at sea in terms of weather routing and performance records and analysis whenever training or racing.And more, with a team open to our needs, Adrena is always developing for better efficiency and simplicity.
When preparing the Route du Rhum, we have quickly managed to compare speed of Veolia 1 & 2, the sails configurations, as well as the wind statistics, to elaborate in advance the conceivable scenario and this way save time and increase confidence before and during the race. I cannot sail without this tool now.»
