Looking for suggestions for indoor storage for the winter

[trondhindenes]

Hi,
I'm considering sailing my Comfortina 38 over from Norway to Scotland in September and dry-storing it for the winter. I'd like to store it indoor as I plan to do some gelcoat/fiberglass work on the hull, as well as servicing the teak.

Anyone know of marinas/boatyards on the east coast of Scotland that offer indoor storage and allow owners to work on their boats? I tried Carriden boatyard in Edinburgh but they couldn't help me as they're more geared towards smaller boats.

any pointers appreciated

Crinan do indoor storage I believe. RB marine on the clyde also have sheds that you can do work in. Might be worth talking to them about an indoor storage deal.

Storage | Crinan Boatyard Ltd

RB Marine Services: Cheverton 18 workboat

Edit: sorry, missed the word east in the question. Not too difficult to get to crinan from Inverness for the right facilities though

At Inverness Marina, they do allow owners to encapsulate their boats in temporary structures.
I don't know whether they allow 'winter only' storage, but do know that the marina hard standing is 'pretty full' during those months.

Thanks! And you're right, anything near the canal on the west side would probably work as well.
