A wind turbine system including a rotationally asymmetric floating wind turbine installation and a rotationally asymmetric mooring system connected to the floating wind turbine installation. The mooring system includes a number of mooring lines connected, directly or indirectly, to the floating wind turbine installation such that the mooring system has a lower yaw stiffness when a wind acting on the wind turbine installation comes from 0° than when a wind acting on the wind turbine installation comes from ±90°. A wind coming from 0° is defined as a wind direction when the horizontal part of the aerodynamic rotor thrust force resulting from the wind is directed towards the center of gravity of the floating wind turbine installation.
