Safe and Sound Sailing for Years to Come

Safe and Sound Sailing for Years to Come 

For boat owners, the open sea is a place of freedom and adventure. But with the thrill of sailing comes the risk of lightning strikes, which can damage vessels, jeopardize safety, and disrupt cherished time on the water. Conventional lightning rods offer a partial solution, but they are not without their limitations. In contrast, the CMCE Lightning Suppressor is a revolutionary system that prevents lightning formation over and around, ensuring safety and peace of mind for boat owners. 


The Problem with Lightning Rods 


Lightning rods have been the traditional choice for protecting vessels from lightning strikes. These systems attract lightning and attempt to ground the high electrical voltage through conductive materials. While effective to a degree, this approach has inherent flaws:

  • Not Fail-Proof: Lightning rods do not stop lightning from forming. Instead, they invite it, which can often lead to strikes in vulnerable areas of a vessel. 
  • High Maintenance: The energy from a lightning strike can damage the rod system, necessitating repairs or replacements. 
  • Costly Repairs: Even if lightning rods function as intended, they may not fully protect sensitive onboard electronics, often resulting in expensive repairs or equipment replacement. 
  • Interruptions to Sailing: Each strike and subsequent repair takes valuable time away from enjoying the water with friends and family.  


The Benefits of the CMCE

 

Boat owners who choose the durable and reliable CMCE Lightning Suppressor enjoy significant advantages: 

  • Peace of Mind: With the risk of lightning strikes eliminated, boat owners can confidently navigate through storm-prone areas. 
  • Lower Costs: No lightning strikes mean no costly repairs, maintenance, or replacements. 
  • Durability: Unlike lightning rods that degrade with each strike, the CMCE device is built to last with strong, corrosion-resistant materials, requiring minimal upkeep. 
  • Uninterrupted Sailing: Spend less time in the shipyard and more time on the water. 


For anyone passionate about spending uninterrupted time on the water, the CMCE Lightning Suppressor is more than a lightning protection system — it’s a game-changer. Don't let outdated solutions dictate your time at sea. Embrace the peace of mind and advanced protection offered by the CMCE and sail safe and sound for years to come.
