Great photo, but doesn't need good timing, just a decent camera pointed in the right direction ... and patience.
I watched a storm in Kuala Lumpur a couple of years ago. I set my camera (Nikon D200) to take continual 30 second exposures - from 200 exposures I only caught one decent strike ( http://www.redbubble.com/people/agurney/art/1464258-3-lightning-kuala-lumpur-malaysia ) but it was worth it.

That's an impressive masthead all-round white! Where do I get one?

There's a leader reaching up from the neighbouring boat too.

Trouble is that the people on board cannot communicate as they don't have any radio equipment left in working order!

Not a lot of damage according to this story
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/new...833395/Yacht-struck-by-bolt-of-lightning.html
"Mr Goodden said that he thinks the damage, which appears to be limited to a radio aerial and a light, was minimal because the mast acted as a good lightning conductor for his family's sailing boat."
