The invention relates to a buoyant assembly, in which a body has a first opening on a lower surface of the body and a turret comprising an upper and a lower end. The turret has attachment points for coupling anchoring lines to the assembly, and the turret is secured within the opening such that the lower end of the turret protrudes below the first opening. The turret is rotatable in a yaw direction relative to the body and the turret is configurable in a first arrangement in which anchoring lines are not coupled to the attachment points and a second arrangement in which the anchoring lines are coupled to the attachment points. The turret is slidable within the opening, and the opening is located in a recess, to allow the turret to be retracted above the draft of the assembly.
