Abstract
A control device for a marine vessel includes a hull, a pair of water resistance bodies, and a controller. The pair of water resistance bodies are provided on the hull, one on a left side and one on a right side of the hull, each independently movable between a first position in which a resistance received from water in a predetermined direction is adjustable to a first magnitude, and a second position in which a resistance is adjustable to zero or to a second magnitude smaller than the first magnitude. The controller is configured or programmed to acquire wind speed, acquire tidal current speed, and control is configured or programmed to control the pair of water resistance bodies based on the wind speed and the tidal current speed.
