[C320-list] When Lightning Strikes

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

First thing I would do is to get a qualified surveyor--there has to be folks who specialize in lightning damage--and have him assess your boat first, then you have some sort of benchmark with which to compare the insurance assessment they will need to make.

Subject: [C320-list] When Lightning Strikes

Sad news - my boat was hit by lightning in a storm on Mon nite here is Long Island. Seems to be limited to electronics but the more people I talk to the more I am learning as to what to check for...like hull damage from where the lightning may have exited. So, I am reaching out to this group seeking words of wisdom from personal experience or that of a fellow sailor. What should I look for, tips on dealing with boatyard/insurance agent etc..
 
Thanks
