    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multirotor wind turbine comprising at least two rotor nacelle assemblies mounted to a support arrangement via respective yawing systems, and a toe angle control system for controlling the toe angles of the rotor nacelle assemblies with respect to the support arrangement; wherein the toe angle control system is configured to operate in a first mode in which the rotor nacelle assemblies are held at positive toe angles while the wind turbine is generating power in a main production mode; wherein the toe angle control system is further configured to monitor the operating mode of the wind turbine, and to switch to a second mode in which the yawing systems of the rotor nacelle assemblies are operated to reduce the toe angles of the rotor nacelle assemblies if an operating mode-based trigger condition has been met.
