Abstract
A mooring line on a second turbine has a hitch point with a mechanical connection to moor the turbine, and an energy conduit connection for transferring energy. The hitch point on the second turbine is adapted to align to a hitch point on a first turbine and to transfer both mechanical and energy conduit connections from the second turbine to the first turbine, releasing the second turbine. In this manner, the second turbine may be towed away for maintenance or repair, and the first turbine may remain to generate energy.
