ABSTRACT:
A bowthruster is operated by a control unit with wind direction based on a detection signal from vane-anemometer. A bow in a hull attitude is slightly adjusted so as to direct a bow of the hull to windward. At the same time, a propulsion unit is operated by control unit in accordance with wind strength based on a detection signal from vane-anemometer. A hull position is slightly adjusted such that the hull is moved based on a distance carried away by wind. Rocking of the hull is reduced by always directing the bow to windward and also the hull is stayed at a constant point located directly over shoal of fish or gathering place for fish so as to enable the pleasant fishing. Accordingly, because of good control response and fine ship position adjustment, the hull is positioned quickly in a fishery and then maintained at a predetermined point in the fishery.
