Obviously not good as fibreglass is not a faraday cage, like metal narrowboats. At the moment if I hear thunder I leave the boat and run for the nearest bridge, (if car is not close). Is this what everyone else does? My father got struck by lightning when camping so don't want to take any chances. I am also worried about my TV aerial (which is on a long pole).

I've been out in the wash and surrounded by electrical storms, needless to say the vhf aerial got folded down.

Never heard about a Norman boat being hit and how it faired? But some stories on line of narrowboats being struck. Especially umbrellas.
But I heard some terrible tales of fibreglass boats out at sea getting struck and disintegrating?

Ive never heard of an inland boater hit by lightening. If I had a TV antenna up high, I may be tempted to lover it though!

Moor under or close to a tall tree or find a sailing boat with aluminium mast to moor beside.
