A process and system for harvesting energy from wind action on the high seas ill all weather conditions, on a year-round basis. This process depends upon the use of seagoing platforms (FIG. 2+ FIG. 4) which themselves achieve stability in the presence of storms at sea, doing so through the selective extraction of wave energy. The selective wave energy extraction takes place in such a way that the prevailing ratio of sea height to swell height affecting a typical seagoing platform ((FIG. 2 or FIG. 4)) is reduced to a small fraction of the ratio of sea height to swell height which prevails at a distance from the platform. In short, this process and system stabilizes a plurality of seagoing platforms which support wind and wave energy conversion means, while simultaneously extracting and converting energy from the combined wind and wave action.
