We have invented a floating platform with 3 canted columns, a new type of fairlead, and a new method of mooring line makeup and installation method, that can be used for canted columns. The platform includes 3 columns having upper ends projecting above water surface. The columns are canted or inclined inward from the corner of hull toward the central vertical axis. The 3 columns converge at the top of column such that each column will lean against the other 2 columns. Each column has two connection points to the other 2 columns. Horizontally disposed pontoons interconnect adjacent columns at the lower ends. The columns and pontoons form a closed structure hull to support a foundation structure directly above the top of column.
