This is a great article! Thanks for posting. I read it when it first came out.Here's what BoatUS says: https://www.boatus.com/seaworthy/magazine/2016/january/lightning-protection.asp
Which boat gets hit is probably just luck of the draw, especially in a marina.
On the H26, there is no way to easily get a ground from the mast to an underwater plate. Even if I wanted to install one, I'd have to go through the ballast tank. ..... and I don't want to mess with that.... So I have a bucket under the sink with several pieces of chain and a quick snap clip. I have NO IDEA if I am actually doing any good but on the few times I have been caught out in a T-storm, I clip these chains to my shrouds and toss them overboard. My hope is that if I do get hit, the discharge will run down the shrouds and into the water instead of through the boat.
