yes, go for it.
It is safe to stand out in the open in water in a large electrical storm, just wear a pair of rubber reef booties and you'll be good 
Errrrr what do you normally associate with thunder? The resulting strike will wipe all your upstairs navigation system and best case scenioro is being supplied your meals thru a tube, but yep all good go for it!

I would listen to lotofwind if I were you, I think he might be talking from experience.
I think he may have tried just what he suggested and got hit by lightening, but the boots saved him - look, he is still perfectly normal.
Perhaps Macroscienc tried sailing his solar power cat in a lightening storm once as well. Who knows ?
Well, son, I don't know much about those windsurfer thinggies, but it is certainly most interesting to fly a kite in a thunderstorm.

Only if you are sailing near a clock tower on a delorean board with a flux capacitor. Guaranteed to hit 88 knots.

Yeah no problems although you may not get a chance to ask stupid question no. 2
Unless stupid question no. 2 is "Whoa. WTF was that?"
Have a look across as SweetChariot's recent experience in the Sailing forum. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Sailing/General/Struck-by-lightning-this-afternoon-in-Botany-Bay/
Guaranteed to blow all the fuses on your sailboard. Blowing a fuse in your synoatrial node (the thing that sets your heart rate) more of an issue.

I think maybe you are ready to start progressing on to kiting grasshopper.
