Winter Storage for a 43 foot fin keel sailboat in Southern UK, perferably around Plymouth

[MudnCrud]

HI
I have a 43 foot sailboat that I plan on working on over the winter. I would really like to have covered storage but I do not seem to be able to find a yard that can store a 13 meter sailboat indoors. Any good options for storage on the hard? I prefer a cradle or proper boat stands.
All help is appreciated.

Many places will be booked up.
I would try Treluggan or the Huggins chaps at Torpoint.
I would expect the closest you'll get to 'indoors' is being able to have a bit of space and use something like a polytunnel.
The smaller yards may be more flexible, but 43ft is big and heavy.
It's easier for something that can be trailered to a field etc.

There are a lot of small yards about up the Plymouth rivers, the Exe, Dart, Salcombe.

mast up or down?

I'm usually up at Treluggan. They have four new sheds that will accommodate you. Well worth a call/email, but I know that they have a waiting list for on the hard storage, they use wooden props rather than cradles. I've sat in 60 kt winds in the boat and she has not moved.

Mast can be up or down since I will probably pull them down to do some work on them

Plymouth Yacht Haven have undercover storage.

Voyager boatyard could well be cheapest, the website seems to be down but:
