Good evening.  Last summer my neighbour's Aloha 27 took a lightning strike to 
the masthead which fried the VHF antenna (and VHF), cooked the antenna wire 
quick connect but caused no other visible damage.   Small strike perhaps. 
Luckily I suffered no damage from the strike 8 feet away. 
Has any of you been struck before? What was the damage and what if any 
protection was in place.  Typical  of C&C Wild Rover has a couple of fat 
welding cables running from chainplate to keel bolt but as I understand it, all 
lightning protection is theoretical at best.  

Cheers
