Abstract (en)
A method for dynamic anchoring of watercraft with a virtual anchor, comprising the steps of: - acquiring the position of a virtual-anchorage point (A) of the watercraft (B); - determining a virtual anchorage radius (R) as a function of the depth (P) in said virtual-anchorage point (A); - periodically defining the geographical co-ordinates of a mooring point (S, S') situated at a distance from said virtual-anchorage point (A) equal to said virtual anchorage radius (R) and on a half-line having origin in said anchorage point (A) and direction coinciding with the direction of the wind (W, W'); and - positioning and maintaining the watercraft (B) in the proximity of said mooring point (S, S').
