    Abstract: A high capacity, shallow draft, ocean-borne wind turbine is described, featuring a floating structure with at least three floats and a turbine rotor coupled to a generator with a power capacity of at least 3 MW. The turbine includes multiple blades, each with a length, and an operational draft less than about one-sixth of the blade length. Variations include configurations with round surf ace piercing floats and specific arrangements of four floats in a square formation. The design ensures a draft in operation of less than 1 meter per MW of rated capacity, providing an efficient and stable platform for offshore wind energy generation.
