Wind farm comprising at least one buoyant structure carrying two or more wind turbines. The wind turbines can have a fixed orientation relative to the buoyant structure and the planes of rotation of the wind turbines can be within the same plane, allowing a shorter minimum distance between the turbines. The wind turbines do not need a yaw mechanism. The buoyant structure can be provided with a turret mooring system to permit the buoyant structure to weathervane to the desired upwind or downwind position. Optionally, the structure may be provided with one or more thrusters on for a more exact positioning of the buoyant structure.
