Esa Regatta is worldwide unique in providing high professional data elaboration, combined with easiness to use for every customer at any level of experience. esa Regatta is downloadable for free, and works connecting your boat data to your iOS smartphone, if connected to the GAMP esa Wi-Fi multiplexer of Astra Yacht. The in app Wi-Fi Free allows the use of esa Regatta app with any Wi-Fi transmitter of free NMEA 0183 sentences existing on the boat. With PRO upgrade, esa Regatta becomes the most complete tool developed and built to manage every phase of the regatta or the simple practice navigation, giving the highest reliability degree and the most advanced interface that keeps usage experience as easy as possible. The PRO upgrade for esa Regatta costs 99,00 euros and you can download it directly from your esa Regatta app via in-app purchase: just swipe on the right until the last page. esa Regatta allows: -The beginners to correct the basis sails regulations. -Racers who searches for maximum performances out of their boats, without renouncing at having a sophisticated instrumentation, and less expensive like current professional ones are. Esa Regatta is an unique application, thank to its ability, during navigation, in creating and updating its own database of the best performances reached by the boat, by comparing with navigation data, highlighting how the sail is getting comparing to its theoretical maximum performances. Features: 1.Navigation data visualization, coming from onboard instruments, and target performances calculated by esa Regatta 2.Target indications: comparison between real time and yard polar data 3.Historic wind chart with real-time and average speeds. 4.Start procedures for knowing times and distances from starting line. 5.Real time calculation of target performances (polar charts) based on real maximum performances achieved during the current navigation (even in background acquisition) ---PRO In-App purchase 6. Management of the course marks and routes 7. Mark Lay lines calculation both time and distance divided in geographical areas 8. Calculation of the current in magnitude and direction (DRIFT, SET), has been added, separating it from the boat’s leeway 9. Advanced Settings page to allow setting position of the GPS antenna over the bow, in order to optimize the starting procedure, and maximum leeway angle for your boat, useful for improving the current calculation. ---ESA regatta Wi-Fi free –In-App purchase NOTE: Free Wi-Fi needed only if you don’t use GAMP multiplexer esa Astra Yacht This pack allows the use of esa Regatta app with any Wi-Fi transmitter of free NMEA 0183 sentences, proprietary Wi-Fi language are not supported, device connected with the on-board instrumentation. Supported both TCP and UDP protocols. The high level performance of esa Regatta available on your own existing Wi-Fi on board - Free Wi-Fi: connect to any Wi-Fi transmitter device onboard; get the navigation data directly on your mobile device (79€) – Starting Procedure: get the perfect start, position the starting line, get real time distances to the buoys and the time to burn for a unbeatable start of the regattas, receive all the necessary information for don’t miss any crucial secondo on your path to the win (49€) – Real time target calculation: the ASTRA patented system of real time polar calculation. All the navigation phases monitored by the software with a live performances indicator (249€) If you would like to know more of esa Regatta’s characteristics, please go to http://www.astrayacht.com. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Esa Regatta PRO | $119.99 | one-time | | Esa Regatta with NMEA free | $79.99 | one-time | | Target polar algorithm with NEMA Free | $249.99 | one-time | | Esa Regatta Start Procedure | $49.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 5.1 — 2022-05-13 Bug fix ### 5.0 — 2021-06-05 Bug fix ### 4.00 — 2020-07-12 1) Updated the calculation of the distance from the P / S buoys taking into account the GPS positioning offset on the boat 2) modified the management of P / S buoys when modified from the waypoint table. Now, when modifying the relative waypoints the modifications are also inherited by the P / S buoys in the starting procedure 3) brought the filter threshold on the GPS coordinates management from 2 to 3.5 meters (used to filter any signal spikes) 4) Magnetic deviation and therefore magnetic and true angle management 5) Fixed the management of the GPS positioning offset on the boat. Now the calculation of the distance from the starting line and from the P / S marks also takes into account this offset 6) Added the management of the upload of LOG and ESA files to the server ww.esailab.it 7) filters on the targets 8) modified the GAIN calculation on the starting line by using the filter value set via the slider on the setting page for the TWD 9) Introduced the units of measurement for Bearing and Distance on the Waypoint page 10) Fixed the bug to create a waypoint without specifying its name 11) Modified the layline calculation 12) Added management of the $ PASKK proprietary sentence 13) Enabled the possibility to use the waypoints of the W / L area as a reference to create a new waypoint using BRG and DIST 14) The arrow indicating the direction of the current is made thinner 15) Replaced the orange color with a fluorescent yellow 16) Inserted the current arrow also on the starting procedure page 17) Added the possibility to enable / disable the sending of the proprietary string $ PASTKK from the settings page 18) added the arrow of the current on the start page 19) fixed the bug that it was no longer possible to select the files on the "Statistics" page 20) Fixed data formatting on the route page 21) Added calculation of mark L in the starting procedure 22) various bug fixes ### 3.33 — 2018-07-30 Bug fixing. Timer problem in Start page. ### 3.32 — 2018-06-09 New instrumentation brand in advanced settings. Once selected the brand the app will automatically update damping filters for the instruments data. North Reference: introduced a new setting for correct the magnetic declination with the possibility to correct True and Magnetic values. ## More apps by ASTRA Yacht srl - [asmPro:Anchor Safe Monitor Pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/asmproanchor-safe-monitor-pro/id642351234) - [asm : Anchor Safe Monitor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/asm-anchor-safe-monitor/id650331247) - [ESA Instruments](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/esa-instruments/id959518561) - [ESA Coach](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/esa-coach/id1054825135) All apps by ASTRA Yacht srl: https://appshunter.io/developer/516503620 ## Related topics [regatta escp](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/regatta-escp) · [inshore by virtual regatta](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/inshore-by-virtual-regatta) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
