[quote=mma600psi]My first time ever sailing a beach cat was last spring, when I first launched my boat. I went out with a friend into barnaget bay. A storm rolled in thunder and lightening striking everywhere around us. We got the boat to within 100 yards of boat slip but couldn't get in due to lack of sailing skills. We were struggled for about 30 mins to get it in, by then the storm passed...I had to change my pants that was scary.
I have read the best thing to do when a storm comes in is to beach the boat and pull it on the its side using the shrouds. This way you dont have a 30 ft lightening rod waiting to be struck. Also you would probably want to stay away from it being it can still conduct a strike. [/quote]
