Sailboat masts attract lightning for various reasons, among them is that the
mast is not properly bonded to the earth and so builds a static charge that
makes it a target... A bit of web searching will find you thousands of reports
of boat strikes...
Your neighbors tower has nothing to do with your local lightning hits as that
tower is grounded to the earth, whereas the boats and houses you cite as
damaged were not properly grounded... You need to make your own boat and your
home properly grounded... This is not your neighbors problem or his
responsibility...
Good luck,
denny
