    Yes, In this forum you can find a reference to CE regulations. I don't know where but the search function will clear it all up for you.

    You will find the calculations in ISO 12215-1 or 2 or 3, depends on youre ship.

    Better have a look at ISO 12215-5, "design pressures, design tensions and determining scantlings"

    Are you trying to determine at what stress point the different parts of the boat break or what the dimensions should be?

    Can someone tell me why this 5/8 double braid line has a much lower breaking strength than others?
