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 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. Scout wrote: -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- Henpecked? Harrassed?

What's with this new proclivity for posting negativity?
It seems a bit beneath the Tim I know, If you deem your recent luck, means your boat cannot be struck, I dare you to rename her, The Trevino! I beseech you do not boast, with arrogance don't toast, Hubristically inferring volts won't find you, For I've seen what's left of men, when God trickle charges them, A smoking heap of flesh, the smell of stew. By other posters I've been jolted, though you're first to wish me bolted, For bringing up the topic of this force, Just remember if I'm gaffed, I'll still have the final laugh, 'Cause your CD buying public's just been halved.

Oops...
Strike on, strike on, electric pen! And from these golems, make us men! (Igor, tonight we must recreate a FLying Tadpole, but this time we'll leave out the hubris and just stick with the green bubbling stuff. Now quickly, raise the platform and the lightning rod, hnnf hnnnf) Scout wrote: What's with this new proclivity for posting negativity?
