ABSTRACT:
The floating structure has a structural frame and a long member which has a lower end anchored to the seabed. The structural frame has limited heave motion relative to the long member. An extensible tensioner is between the frame and the long member. Mechanical brakes apply braking forces against the long member only when the floating structure heaves up. The brakes are inactive when the floating structure heaves down.
