[Alberg30] Lightning Protection

[Helmes, Gail S.]

While Encore is still out of the water and the mast is down, I am thinking
about adding lightning protection that would include a grounding plate on
the bottom of the hull.  We have read up on Nigel Calder,  and have found
some good Web sites, but would like to hear some experienced opinions.  A
survey of the local boat yard indicates that most boats don't have lightning
protection, but if we are going to do it, now is the time.  Any thoughts on
whether to add it?  Any advise on how to do it?  Does anyone wish they had
installed it?
Your comments are appreciated.
