An apparatus for yawing a turbine into the wind while reducing time-averaged loads has weight-balanced, aerodynamic fairings that cover structural elements of an offshore wind turbine. The aerodynamic fairings provide a rudder effect while a weight-balancing apparatus counters aeroelastic instability and buffers the effects of side gusts.
