I think you may be missing the point here.
The weak link is to protect the glider airframe from exceeding maximum
loading ie towards the top of the launch, with the cable almost vertical
and the wing loading at its maximum. Using these calculations to determine
the best acceleration at the start of the launch is bad math(s).

Yes, yes, of course. I didn't mean to give the impression I would like
to be accelerated to the limits of the weak link - that would be
quite frightful. But bildan was throwing wrong figures about and
claiming (indirectly) the weak link limits the acceleration to safe
levels.
