Abstract (en)

An electronic control method for controlling at least two rudders of a vessel during navigation, the method using a control system and comprising the following steps: - selecting a first rudder as master rudder and at least a second rudder as slave rudder from said at least two rudders; - as the steering wheel rotates, if a first angle (RA-MASTER) defined between the master rudder and a longitudinal symmetry plane is either higher than or equal to a predetermined threshold angle (RAS), the control system controls a synchronization of the angular speed of the slave rudder with the angular speed of the master rudder, otherwise if said first angle (RA-MASTER) is smaller than said predetermined threshold angle (RAS), the angular speed of the slave rudder is different from the angular speed of the master rudder.
