boat storage

Any one know of anywhere in Torbay area to store a boat on trailer relatively cheaply and secure as i want to leave boat in area rather than towing it back and forth every other weekend for a month or two, don't mind if its a farm out of the way a little as long as its not too far to get too say 20 mins drive.
Have looked on google and found a few places, there is one in Totnes by the slip that looks ok as storage yard but have not contacted them as yet
Cheers

Is that backwater marine ? I'm not sure personally but will ask around.

Thanks Toonpirate for asking, no not Blackwater, its a yard on the side of the steamer key road not far from the public slip, i'm idealy looking for something that's secure and not too far from Paignton or Torquay. I have found Dartside quay at Galmpton with parking/storage facilities but the slip is only usable for a few hours but the road is narrow.

The road to Dartside is a narrow, but that's Devon for you. I've used it for years with no real problem - just take it steady. Dartside is OK c. 2.5 hrs either side of HW, but if tides are not favourable Brixham slip is only a 15 min tow.

If you don't like that Dainton at Yalberton do storage, but you'll need to tow to launch every time. Not sure on prices but I think it's c. £4-5 /m/ week.

Ribraff might have some room in Dartmouth if you drop him a pm, but parking will be an issue.

If you're down for a couple of days you can always berth over night at one of the marinas - Noss, Darthaven, Dart Marina and recover on the next suitable tide.
