Yeah but... if the barge base the tower is attached to isn't of the order as large on each side as the tower is tall, the first gale will capsize it.

- nradov 5y agoCenterboards are really only effective when the boat is moving. For static stability you need a keel with enough ballast to provide a sufficient righting moment.
- dasv 5y agoDon't forget that although the base floats it is also tethered to the seafloor with chains and anchors! The mooring provides most of the stability, and if it were not tethered then it would not stay in place at all.
