Unmanned sailboats are driven only by wind, making them good platforms for the synchronous observation of air-sea interfaces over a large range. Compared with traditional unmanned ships, the unmanned sailboat involves simultaneous sail and rudder control for path tracking in unpredictable marine environments. The system is characterized by strong coupling and nonlinearity, creating challenges for the design of controllers. This paper combines line-of-sight (LOS) guidance with the introduction of a sideslip angle observer and model predictive control. A high-precision path tracking strategy suitable for cooperative sail and rudder control for unmanned sailboats is proposed. First, considering the lateral error easily caused by the large sideslip angle of sailboats, a full-path fixed-time guidance strategy with double fixed-time sideslip angle observers (DFSO) is proposed. Second, different from the previous strategy of decoupling the sail and rudder to control the speed and heading, the proposed cooperative control framework uses Lyapunov-based model predictive control (LMPC). The sailing speed and heading angle are both accounted for in the objective function, and the stability is verified by Lyapunov theory. Finally, the feasibility and superiority of this proposed method are confirmed by numerical simulation experiments involving the path tracking of a four degree of freedom sailboat model integrated with wind and waves in an ocean environment.
