Hi Mark,

I particularly love your signature. Everything BUT the R22 is for sale! Enjoy the sail and I hope that they sell.

While I'm certainly no expert on the topic, if you want to look into grounding metal things on your boat you can do some Internet research on "bonding." Very mixed opinions on this topic. My Nimble 30 has heavy copper cables connecting the engine, all the through-hulls and the mast and finally a metal plate on outside of the hull. The one on that boat is called a "Dynaplate" which I think it's currently sold by Guest Marine. I believe some of the goals of bonding include equalizing the galvanic potential of all the through-hulls and the engine in order to reduce/eliminate galvanic corrosion. I think if you have a short wave/SSB radio on board you also need this type of "grounding."
