Sterngear growth

[jonnyboat3]

I have a P61 in the med...2x800 man,s.Marine growth on the props and shafts can take 7 knotts off when at its worst.

Any ways that this growth can be stopped...ord antifoul is just no use.I have heard lanolin is good does anyone have any experience of this material ??

I tried lard on our duoprop round about the end of July last. Result was excellent when we took boat out in December - no growth whatsoever after severe fouling prior to July. However some say that the worst growth takes place early in the season so I will give it another go when the boat goes back in the water, hopefully in Feb.
Mind you I don't know if lard is widely available in the Med.
