Subject: Lightings and sailboats with wooden masts

Thank you Paul, Gitano and Gene,
All very valuable replies to me. I think, there is no obvious conclusion in this subject, the amount of information is huge and more you read, the more confusing it is. Gene's reply about changins his must from wood to aluminum is an interesting example.
Since there are about a couple of hundred Mariner sailboat sailing the oceans with wooden masts and there was no original factory installed lightening protection on any of them, I suppose Paul's opinion is valid.
Again, I appreciate all of your replies,
Fair Winds
Nicholas
