Sorry to hear you have been hit -an OH 'worst case scenario'.
And I agree entirely with your advice, having read many accounts of people suffering strikes or near misses, and having been less than 30m from a tree (in the garden) when it was totalled by a lightning bolt.
One of the most amusing accounts I read by an American skipper who was quite badly jolted by a shock from the metal guardrails during a near miss, concluded that crew members should wear rubber boots and rubber gloves, and the male crew ..... well its a family forum
The writer also suggested putting a yellow welly over the masthead to deter strikes - but agreed it might be dificult to persuade anyone to put it there in a thunderstorm!
But installing a conductor to attract lightning always struck me as going a bit too far... errrrm, should I rephrase that?
