Sailing and Events / Lightening strike totals...
September 14, 2002, 07:17:01 PM
Alas, hit by lightening at the mooring (unpersoned) resulting in Commander #49 has been totaled by the Ins. Co.  The repair is $3OOO+ more than insurance on the boat, and that just covers estimates on hull repair.  My first keel boat (6+ year owner) and know I would need to put another $3000 in it over the next several years, all to sail on a river for the 4 month season.  It is hard to think about letting go...but reality suggests putting $16,000 into this situation is crazy.
Assume I will be posting ads to sell the new mainsail and cover if I can't find another Commander or Ariel.  I have not been in a position like this.   Any helpful experiences?
