Floating wind turbine; rotation on itself

Hello being a student in first year of preparatory class, I have a tip to do on floating wind turbines, I was wondering if by the effect of rotation of the propellers it could be that the floating wind turbine starts to turn on itself, is it possible ? If so, how can I highlight it? thank you

A priori, a rotation of the wind turbine seems to be ruled out since when this phenomenon occurs, it is necessarily in the axis of the rotation; however, here, the axis is horizontal.

There is a push on the mast. (that's why the mast must be strong)
If the mast is not stacked in the middle of the floating platform it will generate a torque.
If you have ever done sea kayaking by wind you will quickly understand.

there might also be digging on the side of the gyroscopic couples ...
