Hello, everyone! I am an aspiring Cat-sailor (she's being build as I write -
delivery in April'15).
I haven't had much experience (Did a coastal
skipper course a few years back) and trying to find my way around as a
live-aboard single-handler).
I read the other day in this forum about a lightening strike on a
boat that destroyed all
fuses and some systems, and almost got the
skipper who was working on his
engine.
My question is: There must be a way to have a lightening and surge protection system installed at the
mast which then "guides" the electricity into the
water?
Has anyone experience with this? I am sure the
insurance company would be happy....
Please let me know and thanks in advance for your advise.
Cheers!
Thomas
