Floating wind turbine structure comprising a socket (20) provided with one or more anchorings (25 , 27 , 28) to the seabed to support one or more wind turbines (1) connected to a driving motor or power generator. The wind turbine is arranged upon a substantially triangular floater device consisting of hollow pipes (21 , 22) extending downwards into the sea at a mutual angle and increasing mutual distance in direction downwards. A hollow arc-shaped underpart/cross piece (23) is arranged at the lower end of the floater device pipes (21 , 22). A strutting piece (24) is arranged at the upper part of the floater device. The cross piece (23) is partially filled by liquid and its internal is provided with a flow restricting plate which decelerates liquid flow from one end to the other of the cross piece during increasing and decreasing heeling.
