A floating wind turbine installation comprises an asymmetric floating wind turbine structure that is tethered to the floor of a body of water by a mooring system. The floating wind turbine structure comprises a wind turbine mounted on a semi- submersible floating platform, and is oriented such that the wind turbine is positioned on an upwind side of the centre of mass of the floating wind turbine structure when the wind approaches the wind turbine structure in the direction of the prevailing wind at the location of the wind turbine installation.
