Lightning Strike On Ship. Since ancient times, sailors have feared sudden lightning strikes that could set ships alight and doom crews. How much of a concern is a lightning strike to a yacht and what can we do about it? Unpredictable weather, including lightning, is among the most common external factors that can affect the safety of a ship. Nigel calder looks at what makes a full ‘belt and braces’ lightning protection system. Lightning strikes the masthead and loads the entire rigging, the boat must have a conductive path to channel the load to the water. These results highlight the central role of direct ship interactions in explaining. Research by nasa shows lightning is more likely to hit land than sea and that it is rare for strikes to occur in deep ocean areas. Storm clouds gather at cowes, but what lightning protection system, if any, does your boat have for anchoring or sailing in lightning? Turns out that along some of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, lightning strikes are twice as common as they are in nearby areas with similar climatic conditions. Lightning is 15× (66×) more likely to occur at a ship location compared to 2 km (25 km) away. How are ships protected from lightning? Today that danger is minimal, but the lightning itself could be even more common.
