A floating structure for supporting and towing an offshore wind turbine uses shallow draft floats of various configurations. The structure enables towing of an offshore wind turbine to a mooring. The structure is designed in varying iterations, some with hydrofoils, bow-shaped floats, or inflatable forms, to reduce drag and/or prevent the shallow floats from diving during towing at various speeds.

    Une structure flottante pour supporter et remorquer une éolienne en mer utilise des flotteurs à tirage peu profond de diverses configurations. La structure permet le remorquage d'une éolienne en mer vers un amarrage. La structure est conçue dans des itérations variables, certaines avec des ailes portantes, des flotteurs en forme d'arc ou des formes gonflables, pour réduire la traînée et/ou empêcher les flotteurs peu profonds de plonger pendant le remorquage à diverses vitesses.
