This MCP server provides tactical sailing intelligence to maximize Velocity Made Good (VMG) during wind shifts. It allows AI agents to analyze wind direction changes and determine the most efficient path toward an upwind target. Using tools like calculate_tack_decision and get_heading_adjustment, agents can decide whether to stay on a current tack or perform a maneuver, while evaluate_vmg_impact quantifies the efficiency changes. It is designed for sailors and tactical analysts needing precise heading adjustments and shift viability assessments.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_tack_decision

Determines whether the boat should stay on its current tack or perform a tack based on an upcoming wind shift

check_shift_timing_viability

Assesses if a wind shift is significant enough to warrant a tactical maneuver

evaluate_vmg_impact

Quantifies the efficiency lost or gained due to a specific wind shift

get_heading_adjustment

Calculates the specific new heading required to optimize the boat's position after a wind shift

See how to talk to your AI agent using Wind Shift Tacking.

Should I tack given a 10 degree clockwise wind shift?

The optimal action is to tack to starboard to catch the lift and increase VMG.

What is my new heading after a 5 degree counter-clockwise shift?

Your new optimal heading is 275 degrees.

Is a 3 degree shift worth a maneuver?

No, the maneuver penalty exceeds the predicted VMG advantage for such a small shift.

It uses `calculate_tack_decision` to determine if a shift warrants a maneuver and `get_heading_adjustment` to find the new optimal heading.
