Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006053974A1] The invention relates to a device for stabilising the orientation of a vessel (1) that has dropped a bow anchor (10) to the bottom of a body of water. The inventive device comprises: at least one side stern propulsion means (6 and 6' or 2), and an electronic compass which is connected to said side propulsion means and which comprises a memory. According to the invention, when a direction is recorded in the memory, the compass transmits an electric signal such that the side propulsion means propels the stern of the vessel laterally either portside or starboard side depending on whether the vessel is oriented portside or starboard side respectively in relation to the recorded direction. The bow of the vessel is fixed to a point by the anchor (10) such that the vessel is maintained in the recorded direction.
