A wind turbine for deployment offshore. The wind turbine including: a tower-float assembly having a tower (3) for supporting a nacelle (13a) and a rotor (13b), and a float (5) arranged to maintain at least part of the tower above a surface of a body of water; a keel assembly (7) including at least one keel module (25) and at least one rod (9) connecting the keel module to the tower-float assembly, wherein the at least one rod is arranged to move relative to the tower-float assembly to deploy the keel module, and the keel module is movable relative to the tower-float assembly, in response to movement of the at least one rod, between a non-deployed position proximal the tower-float assembly and a deployed position which is distal from the tower-float assembly in a downwardly direction, thereby increasing an effective length of the wind turbine; and the at least one rod is arranged to transfer bending moments to the tower-float assembly.
