Vsk5 Tide Tracker

The Vsk5 Tide Tracker is a real-time tide phase and stream intensity calculator designed specifically for Virtual Skipper 5.

It allows sailors to determine the in-game tide phase and stream intensity at any moment and displays:

• The tide phase
• The stream intensity
• The minutes remaining until the next phase change
• The next phase name
• The next phase start time

Accuracy: Within 60 seconds, making it suitable for live tactical decisions.

Unlike the static in-game weather bulletin, this tool follows the continuous 24-hour tide phase timing logic used internally by Vsk5, ensuring correct tide information throughout the race — not just at the start.

This allows you to plan:

• Race strategy
• Mark roundings
• Laylines
