A sudden windstorm took down my Shade sail.

Thinking about using a quick disconnect to allow the sale to break away In high winds. Question: for a 12 x 12 sale What PSI rating would you recommend for lobster hooks on each corner?

This thread is supposed to be for you to introduce yourself. The question probably belongs in one of the engineering forums. That said, I'm not sure anyone will want to dispense safety related advice on an online forum.
 

Thread 'Just an enthusiast!'

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
