    Forces in fittings

    Hello, I would like to calculate the forces and tensions into sheets and halyards in order to dimension fittings (cleats, clutches, winches ...). Is there any formula I could use ? I only know this formula : F = pressure in sail = 1/2.ρ.S.V^2.C ρ = density of air (1.29 kg/m3) S = Sail...
