<p>I'm using lanolin grease on the all boat and kissed goodbye to expensive antifouling paint. I'm beaching the boat every 3 months or so depending on season. There is a strip of antifouling on the bottom where it sits on the sand. This way is legal to do it in Queensland, Au. but not allowed with poisonous paint.</p>
<p>Happy sailing </p>

<p>We have had the same rudder lashings on Peace IV for 10 years and 50,000 miles. We have always just painted the rudder lashings with antifoul using a brush and we have never had a problem. We use ablative paint and the rudders just move nice and easy. The lashings are made of dacron non stretch line. I was doubtful about doing it this way at first, but have the faith now. All the best, Ann and Nev</p>

<p>I covered the lashings with 3M 4200 and then many layers of ablative antifouling , only take the barnicles out time to time, the rest stays and doesn't bother too much. i will post some new pics later.</p>

try DESITIN CREAM. we use it on propellors that we know wont be turning for a while rather than antifouling paint. it is used for diaper rash prevention on babies. it stick tenaciously anf does not affect flexibility
