Claim 9:
10. A marine energy production apparatus comprising:
a floating structure;
a floating wind turbine assembly including a floating structure, a support structure including a plurality of legs, each leg having a first end fixed to said floating structure and a second end, a turbine comprising a nacelle and a motor mounted on the nacelle, the rotor having an axis of rotation that is fixed with respect to said floating structure and is substantially parallel to a wind direction;
means for detecting the wind direction;
means for detecting an orientation of said floating wind turbine with respect to the wind direction;
means for detecting an inclination of said floating wind turbine about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation the rotor;
means for controlling the inclination of said floating wind turbine with respect to the axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor;
a computation unit for receiving information from said means for detecting the wind direction, said means for detecting the inclination of the floating wind turbine, and said means for detecting the orientation of the floating wind turbine, and generating an instruction for controlling the inclination of said floating wind turbine, said means for controlling altering the inclination of said floating wind turbine responsive to said instruction.
