Abstract (en)
[origin: CA2190758A1] The invention concerns an auto-pilot for water craft, in particular for pleasure craft and sailing yachts, the auto-pilot having an automatic control device (2) by means of which the helm (1) of the craft is moved. In order to prevent the craft continuing under way when the skipper or helmsman falls overboard, the auto-pilot has a transmitter (7) which is a separate unit from the control device, is attached to the skipper or helmsman and is designed to transmit a "man overboard" signal, plus a receiver (4) which is associated with the control device (2) and which receives a "man overboard" signal (6) transmitted by the transmitter (7) and controls the control device (2), and hence the helm (1), in such a way that the distance between the craft and the transmitter (7) does not increase.
