Got a peripheral question, which relates to the
lightning thread. Would be interested in the groups
thoughts.
Been considering two sailboats. One has a traditional guyed
aluminum mast, grounded in a typical fashion...inadequately.
THAT, I can fix.
The other has a freestanding carbon fiber mast. No way to
ground it. Conductivity unknown, but I assume somewhat resistive.
Which is safer? And if I put an antenna (or lightning rod) at the masthead,
does it get worse, or better?
