Claim 0:
1. A floating platform comprising:
two buoyant outriggers, wherein said buoyant outriggers extend in opposite directions while floating at the water surface;
a tower, said tower having a longitudinal axis positioned about equally distant from opposing ends of the two buoyant outriggers, said tower extends in an upward direction from the said buoyant outriggers, wherein the upward direction is perpendicular to a reference line defined by the opposing ends of said buoyant outriggers;
an articulated support arm, said articulated support arm has a buoyant first end that floats near the water surface, a second end that is attached to the said tower with a hinge, and a third end that is attached at a connection to members of said buoyant outriggers or said tower; and
a rotatable anchor connection attached at the said buoyant first end of the said articulated support arm, said rotatable anchor connection operable to retain said tower within a desired area while also allowing said tower to move in response to at least one of changing wind conditions and changing wave conditions.
