Abstract
Apparatus for position stabilizing the lower end of an elongate duct, which is vertically disposable in an ocean and which is supported at its upper end, is described. The apparatus includes an elongate flexible tensile member which is disposable along the interior of the duct. The tensile member is adapted to be connected at one end thereof to a duct support structure and to extend through the duct. A weight of selected mass and size is connectible to the other end of the tensile member below the lower end of the duct. Means are connectible between the tensile member and the duct, at least adjacent the lower end of the duct, for establishing and maintaining a selected position of the tensile member relative to the duct.
