Abstract;This paper proposes a Sailing Offshore Wind Farm with Mooringless System in the huge Japanese Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), as main energy resource with small load on an environment. This floating structure sails around EEZ of Japan seeking appropriate breezing and avoiding meeting heavy storm like Typhoon. The key technologies for designing it are to secure sailing performance and structural strength. Studies on hydro-elastic response in wave and voyage simulation in case of Typhoon are carried out. A prototype design shows feasibility of safe sailing even in case of Typhoon and structural strength in storm. If Sailing Offshore Wind Farms, 3900units of the prototype replace coal power plants, then we can obtain 18% of total electric power generation of Japan and reduce 10% of exhausting CO2 of the 2002 level.
