<p>A steering system for a marine vessel is disclosed. The steering system includes one or more steering devices operable to turn a marine vessel, and a steering input device operable to command both an ahead course, and turns away from an ahead course, for the vessel. The steering input device generates a desired turn rate signal, a rate sensor generates a turn rate signal indicative of the vessel turn rate, and a control system receives the vessel and desired turn rate signals and controls the steering device(s) to turn the marine vessel so as to minimise any difference between the signals at least when the steering input device commands a turn away from an ahead course.</p> |
