The invention relates to a management module for a sailing boat, said sailing boat comprising a wind angle sensor configured to measure the wind angle value of the boat indicating the angle between the wind direction and the sailing direction of the sailing boat, said wind angle value being comprised between −180° and +180°, and an autopilot module configured to receive control commands and to control the trajectory of said sailing boat using said control commands, said management module being configured to receive the wind angle value from said wind angle sensor, generate a control command to control the wind angle of the boat between a first angle threshold and a second angle threshold wherein said first angle threshold and said second angle threshold are greater than or equal to 0° and smaller than or equal to +180° when the wind angle value is between 0° and +180° and greater than or equal to −180° and smaller than or equal to 0° when the wind angle value is between −180° and 0°, and send said generated control command to the autopilot module in order for said autopilot module to control the trajectory of the sailing boat using said control command.
