The invention relates to a floating foundation for wind turbine generators and a method for installing a wind turbine generator on top of and performing maintenance on said foundation. The floating foundation includes a tower and two support legs pivotally connected to the tower, forming a tripod-like structure. The floating foundation may include hydrodynamic damping elements and a single point mooring system leaving the foundation free to weathervane. The invention also relates to a method for using the structure as a crane, lowering and raising the turbine platform against and from e.g. a service barge during maintenance or assembly.
