Abstract: A sailing assisting system is provided in which a sailing assist for a vessel which enters a specific water area where sailing of the vessel is limited is realized through a simple configuration and in which a steersman is prevented from having strange feeling. A sailing assisting system includes movable controlling devices (a shift and throttle controller, a steering device, a trim switch), actuators (a rotational shaft drive unit, a shaft drive unit, a switch drive unit) for driving these controlling devices, and a control unit for executing a notification operation and controlling the actuators to limit movable ranges of the controlling devices if a hull is determined to stay within a specific water area where the sailing of the hull is limited based on information on the specific water area and information on the position of the hull.

Abstract: A boat maneuvering support device supports maneuvering of a boat including a first propulsion device having a variable turning angle, a second propulsion device for generating a propulsive force for moving the boat in a left-right direction, and a steering mechanism for changing a turning angle of the first propulsion device and an output of the second propulsion device. The boat maneuvering support device includes a control unit which controls the turning angle of the first propulsion device and/or the output of the second propulsion device, a detection unit which detects a rotational speed of a propeller of the first propulsion device, and a calculation unit which obtains a rotational power of the boat based on the turning angle designated by the operation of the steering mechanism and the rotational speed. The control unit controls the output of the second propulsion device based on the rotational power.

Abstract: A navigation assist system having a plurality of navigation assist apparatuses installed on small boats like motorboats each fitted with an outboard motor to be able to navigate in a predetermined water area, and a server placed on land to communicate with the navigation assist apparatuses. Each of the navigation assist apparatuses detects a trim-up position of the outboard motor, adds the position to a danger level data downloaded from the server unit, and alerts an operator concerned when the boat approaches a region whose danger level is great.

Abstract: In an apparatus installed on a boat (A) in plural boats including (A, B) for avoiding collision with the boat (B), there are equipped with first and second radio-wave transceiver units installed at spaced positions that transmit to and receive radio waves of a predetermined frequency from the boat (B), and first and distance calculating units that calculate clearance distances from the boat (B) based on attenuation degree of the radio waves transmitted from the boat (B). An intersection point of circles whose origins in an x-y coordinate plane are set to positions corresponding to the first and second positions and whose radii are set to values corresponding to the calculated clearance distances. Direction and position of the boat (B) are estimated from the intersection point, and an instruction necessary for avoiding collision with the boat (B) is issued based on the estimated direction and position.
