Forespar Lightning Master
Static Dissipators lower the exposure to a direct
lightning strike by reducing the build up of static
ground charge and the subsequent formation of ion
'streamers' which complete the path for a lightning
strike. Installation of a lightning Master will
reduce the likelihood of a direct strike to your
yacht.
Easy to install (fitting
neatly on top of your mast), requiring no maintenance
(no discharge cables through the mast), the Forespar
Lightning Master is a reasonably priced and hassle
free product which provides peace of mind.
Lightning protection is
especially important for carbon masts and for this
reason many larger yachts with carbon masts such
as the J class Yacht 'Valsheda', have sensibly to
chosen to fit a Forespar Lightning master.
