In recent days, the natural fibre are plays major role in replacement of metallic metals to decrease the load of components. One of the applications of natural fibre is that the marine field. We have been selected the Kenaf fibre to analyze the water absorption behaviour. A Kenaf fibre composite is formed and conducted the water immersion tests. A water absorption test has been conducted at different conditions. Also the flexural and tensile test is planned to conduct on prepared specimen. After the testing water immersed specimens are compared with dry composite specimens with their change in properties. The material is additionally analysed on the ANSYS software with the properties found from experimental work. From this analysis we have known that the kenaf fibre is a one among the best option for the purpose of wet condition field.
