Ian Nicolson in his "Boat Data Book" has posted such a table on p185. It goes like this:
Beaufort Velocity Pressure [psi] kg/sq.m.
1 1-3kt 0.01 0.049
2 4-6 0.08 0.390
3 7-10 0.28 1.366
4 11-15 0.67 3.270
5 16-20 1.31 6.393
6 21-26 2.30 11.224
7 27-33 3.60 17.575
8 34-40 5.40 26.363
9 41-47 7.70 37.591
10 48-55 10.50 51.261
I hope that this helps.
