In this paper a fluid-structure interaction problem is solved by utilizing a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code to solve three-dimensional (3D) ReynoldsAveraged Navier-Stokes Equations (RANSE) in conjunction with a finite element program to performa strength analysis of a composite motor yacht, performing a fluid-structure interaction study. Hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads are obtained in the first step. These loads are then used to perform a strength analysis of the hull structure. A composite boat was examined for the velocities of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 knots to obtain the pressure loads under different working conditions. Hydrodynamic and hydrostatic load magnitudes were found to be close in magnitude for the velocities of 0, 4 and 8 knots, but the values for the velocities of 12 and 16 knots are different from the above counterparts. The static strength analysis of the structure is also performed by the finite element software for the abovementioned velocities and the results are compared.
