It's nice to have a neighbor now with a mast 3 ft higher :0) OK, so... what actually happens when your boat gets nailed? Never had the pleasure myself. ![]() Redcloud is steel, the current travel thru the hull to the water, It's the birdcage effect. One time I had a TV antenna attached to the forward stay and it blew up the TV. I have 2 arc marks attop the main mast. The guy who was in the next slip has a P40 that got struck, it melted all the eletronics and wiring in the boat. 43K in damage. Joe -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
