QUÉ SIGNIFICA WHEELSMAN EN INGLÉS

Timonel

Helmsman

Un timonel o timón es una persona que maneja un barco, velero, submarino, otro tipo de buque marítimo o nave espacial. En los buques pequeños, en particular los buques no comerciales de propiedad privada, las funciones de capitán y timonel pueden combinarse en una sola persona. En buques más grandes, hay un oficial separado del reloj, que es responsable de la navegación segura del barco y da órdenes al timonel. En la marina mercante, la persona al timón suele ser un marinero capaz, especialmente durante las llegadas de los buques, las salidas, y mientras se maniobra en aguas restringidas u otras condiciones que requieren dirección precisa. Un marinero ordinario se limita comúnmente a dirigir en aguas abiertas. Por otra parte, los barcos militares pueden tener un marinero o un intendente al timón. Un timonel profesional mantiene un rumbo constante, ejecuta correctamente todas las órdenes del timón y comunica al oficial en el puente utilizando términos de navegación relacionados con el rumbo y la dirección del buque. Un timonel se basa en referencias visuales, un magnético y girocompás, y un indicador de ángulo del timón para dirigir un rumbo constante. El compañero u otro oficial en el puente dirige al timonel a bordo de buques mercantes o navales.

A helmsman or helm is a person who steers a ship, sailboat, submarine, other type of maritime vessel, or spacecraft. On small vessels, particularly privately owned noncommercial vessels, the functions of skipper and helmsman may be combined in one person. On larger vessels, there is a separate officer of the watch, who is responsible for the safe navigation of the ship and gives orders to the helmsman. In the merchant marine, the person at the helm is usually an able seaman, particularly during ship arrivals, departures, and while maneuvering in restricted waters or other conditions requiring precise steering. An ordinary seaman is commonly restricted to steering in open waters. Moreover, military ships may have a seaman or quartermaster at the helm. A professional helmsman maintains a steady course, properly executes all rudder orders, and communicates to the officer on the bridge using navigational terms relating to ship's heading and steering. A helmsman relies upon visual references, a magnetic and gyrocompass, and a rudder angle indicator to steer a steady course. The mate or other officer on the bridge directs the helmsman aboard merchant or navy ships.
