Bill asked: what is, say,Nordhavn's theory and approach to a lightning
strike?
While I can't speak for Mr. Nordhavn, I can say PAE provides a lightning
staff and fuzzy static head at the top of the mast, along with copper wire
that runs to the keel where it's attached to a plate for dissipation of the
charge. I'm probably not using the right terms, but it is part of every
boat I believe? I don't know anyone that's taken a direct hit, I can ask on
the Nordhavn forum and see what results.
