4.0 out of 5 stars A clear & concise technical manual for cruising boat owners, 6 Jan 2002
By alan@azexis.com (Suffolk, England) - See all my reviews
Michael V Huck Jr. has written a concise well structured, easily read, manual. In only 66 pages he imparts a knowledge of the nature of lightning, its side effects, and the action required to reduce the chance of injury and damage by lighning. I have found this book revealing, and disturbing. Any owner of a marina berthed, production fibreglass cruiser who has not made modifications to detire lightning, and the consequential damage, may find this little book a useful eye opener! My only reservation is the lack of a modern, detailed DIY approach to the remedies.
