NWR-
The 2AWG jumper cables probably did less than zip to ground your boat, given the high resistance of the stainless steel used in shrouds and stays, and the low surface area of the clamping method... it was of almost purely psychological benefit if anything.
Chuckles-
The grounding strip/plate for a lightning bond system does generally have to be a bit heavier than most foils are. The best ones I've seen have threaded copper studs that go through the hull to the bonding system.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
