Abstract
A sailing assisting system is provided in which a sailing assist for a vessel which enters a specific water area where sailing of the vessel is limited is realized through a simple configuration and in which a steersman is prevented from having strange feeling. A sailing assisting system includes movable controlling devices (a shift and throttle controller, a steering device, a trim switch), actuators (a rotational shaft drive unit, a shaft drive unit, a switch drive unit) for driving these controlling devices, and a control unit for executing a notification operation and controlling the actuators to limit movable ranges of the controlling devices if a hull is determined to stay within a specific water area where the sailing of the hull is limited based on information on the specific water area and information on the position of the hull.
