The invention provides a floating windmill, comprising a floating element and a wind turbine. The floating windmill is distinguished in that it further comprises: a tension leg, an anchoring, a buoyancy element, a swivel and a cross bar, wherein the swivel is arranged in the buoyancy element. In operation, the floating windmill in operation is configured with the wind turbine in an upper end of the floating element extending up above the sea level, with a lower end or part of the floating element submerged in the sea, with the cross bar in one end connected to the lower part or end of the floating element and in the opposite end connected to the buoyancy element, with the buoyancy element fully submerged, preferably at safe draught depth below surface for service vessels and/or marine transport ships, with the tension leg arranged between the buoyancy element and the anchoring on the seabed. The floating windmill configured with the wind turbine in the upper end can weathervane freely around the buoyancy element, wherein in a low force condition when the forces by ocean current, wind and waves are low the floating element, the buoyancy element and the tension leg is oriented in substance in vertical direction and the cross bar is oriented in substance in horizontal direction, wherein in a high force condition when the forces by ocean current, wind and waves are high the shape of the floating element, cross bar, buoyancy element and tension leg is stretched by the forces to provide a shape like a lazy-s configuration, which change in shape and dynamic behavior reduce extreme stress levels.
