The horse down the street disintegrated and all that was left were his shoes
and the molten bits left of his halter...and a big greasy stinky black char
mark...

I have had so many experiences with lightning near misses over the
years,
boat and otherwise, that I am positive that is how I am going to end it
all....

all of the survivor reports I've seen looked something like this: "I didn't
feel a thing, I woke up and my shirt was smoking."

Yikes, there's a big T-storm rolling thru here right now. I better put
my foil beanie on and go outside and pray.

and if you read all the stuff out there, there is really no way
you're going
to protect something that waves a giant metal or wood stick in the
air
screaming "Hit me"...Yacht-L has had some really long winded
discussions on
the subject that cover everything from "cones of disruption" to
sticking a
lightning rod up there....go to their archives and have fun reading
10 years
of ongoing banter....

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?
Scout

yeah , as posted abovemy boat was hit.
on the protection aspect, i'm with katysails.
after looking at the possibilites and methods of providing lightning
protection, it mostly seemed like snake oil
the only thing i did, besides repairing the damage, was to buy a lenght of
chain that i keep in the sertn locker that can be clipped on to the back
stay and dragged in the water.
other than that, a few prayers my come to mind.
