Last month one of the boats on the hard at the local yacht club got hit
- hard.

It looked like the bolt hit near the _bottom_ of the mast.
(and yes, the mast was up)

So were the masts of thirty other boats around it.

All on trailers, too.

But this one was the one.

Insurance had lapsed the month before.

The resulting fire was so hot that the boat beside this one melted.

I'm guessing that if you took a hit like this, you'd never know it.
