Actually, there is also lightning bonding...where you tie the major metal components of the boat together electrically to help them form a "faraday cage" of sorts for the occupants. In theory, connecting the shrouds, stays, bow pushpit, stern pushpit, stanchions, mast, and chainplates together should create a protective "cage" for the occupants of the boat. Generally not done on most boats though.

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.
