The minute hand indicates the actual state of a tide at a chosen location and the hour hand shows the tendency to low or high tide.
For your SAILING-TOUCH to indicate correct tidal information, you need to enter the exact time of the next high tide at your location.
Please visit one of the websites listed on page 16 for information about tidal times.

Tides
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the Earth and the gravita-
tional forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun. The interval between two high tides is of approximately 12 hours
and 25 minutes.
During high tide, the sea level rises because the side of Earth facing the Moon (nearest it) is attracted by the
gravitational force of the Moon. Combined with the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the Earth, oceans
stretch into an ellipse with the Earth in the center. The ellipse has two peaks; one nearest the Moon and one
farthest from it (at the antipodal point). As the Earth spins on its axis once a day and the Moon needs longer, about
30 days to rotate around the Earth, the ellipse stays aligned with the Moon meaning that there are two high and
two low tides in one day.
Description of function
Upon activation of the Tide function, the hands of your SAILING-TOUCH indicate actual tidal information. The
minute hand moves between 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock and indicates the actual state of the tide (amplitude). The hour
hand points to 9 o’clock (“L”) or 3 o’clock (“H”). If it points to “L”, it means that the actual tidal tendency is to low
tide and if it points to “H” it is to high tide.
The LCD display indicates the time of the next high and low tides.
Note
For best accuracy of the tide function, set tidal times as frequently as possible. For your safety, always carefully plan boat trips with accurate information and tools
