How many folks have lightning "proofed" their boat?
Did you make your own modifications or buy a package? What systems are
better than others?
Have you ever been hit?

Not I, neither, no.

If there were any justice, lightning would strike you for firing
this topic up again. What's next...guns?

Lady Kate's bigger transatlantic-crossing sister "Loose Moose"
(not on the web now but here's another:
http://www.ace.net.au/schooner/as39ba.htm#start )
was lost due to lightning. No lightning condutors etc (wood
mast). Struck while at anchor and unattended in a storm in the
BVI. Blew the mast up, punched a hole through the hull _forward_
of the watertight bulkehead, and melted the anchor cable,
whereupon boat was wrecked on blowing ashore. Would it have been
lost similarly with lightning protection rovided? Probably, is
my guess. Let the flamewar begin.
