The invention relates to a wind turbine comprising a floating base designed as a semi-submersible, a tower arranged on the floating base, at least two arms extending from the tower, a respective energy conversion unit arranged at the free end of each arm, and a cable system connecting the base to the energy conversion units and connecting the energy conversion units to one another in order to introduce the thrust forces acting on the tower, the arms and the energy conversion units into the base, wherein the cable system has a pre-tensioning, the value of which is greater than the loads to be expected during the operation of the wind turbine and acting against the pre-tensioning.
