This study confirmed that usefulness of the vertical axis marine turbine with the variable-pitch control system by using single actuator disk theory, the numerical calculations and experimental results on the flume and the towing test in the sea area. The calculation and test model has a diameter of 0.5m, blade length of 0.6m and 6 blades. In this condition, from the results of the numerical calculation, the flume test and the towing test, it confirmed that high performance can be obtained the setting angle between -20 degrees and -30degrees.
