brought forth on stone tablets:
Does anybody know how to go about calculating the stresses in standing
rigging. I have an masthead sloop rigged 50 ' FRP boat. 4 lowers, 2
intermediates, 2 uppers, head & back stay. All inboard rigging. I'd
like to know the tensions in the various stays - vs the tensile
strength of the wires. Any ideas on how this is done?

Not simple. Start with Brion Toss' book "The Riggers Apprentice"
