The paper tackles an interesting topic studying the effect of the FOWT’s motion on power production. The paper shows the difference in energy production between fixed bottom and different FOWTs designs.

The paper addresses the impact of the Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) motions on wind turbine power generation. It examines whether the energy from the wave can be converted into the power produced by the wind turbine using platform motion. The conclusion drawn from the study is that this is not feasible with the current design practices.

• The paper structure needs to be improved. It is hard to follow the paper as it has long paragraphs. Using bullet points and tables can improve the manuscript.
• In the introduction section, the main contribution, the authors mentioned sensitivity analysis, but it is not clear in the manuscript as it is distributed in the results section. I think it is better to have its section in the results.
• The methodology section starts with extracting equations 3 and 4, but it is not clear how they contribute to the manuscript. Also, it is unclear how they contributed to the results, as all the results seem to be based on OpenFAST simulations.
• The results section is confusing and needs restructuring. Also, more wind-wave misalignment cases can strengthen the manuscript for the Coupled-S case, as Figure 14 only presents two wind-wave misalignments.
