Since the past unlucky owner is a friend of mine, I do know a lot about that Ketch.

He had a chain plate ground system that was to small...

Zappppp

Lightning knocked out his entire electronics.

Our well grounded boat 50 feet away... NADA!!!

One of our members has a trimaran on a mooring ball in the cove. Lightning struck his boat and blew a hole through one of the amas. Another trimaran in a slip one year was hit and fried his electronics. Other sailboats slipped all around him. Mother Nature doesn't seem to like trimarans

I have always said, it you have a direct Lightning HIT...
Take a picture of the hole in your hull when the Insurance Company lifts the boat out of the water.

Side strikes are a different story.
