Is this preventable by installing a lightning prevention system ?
Tayana offers this as an option for $1000 but I don't know how

It is not preventable. Grounding systems provide protection by
creating a more attractive route to the lightning so that it does not
travel through the hull, woodwork or the crew.

Check out
