Welcome to the forum. Add a few details to your bio when you get a chance, may find your in close proximity to another forum member.
I think you may have to consider a port with facilities to handle commercial fishing boats or an area that your vessel can be craned on to hard standing. The problem these days with some slips is that sand blasting is no longer allowed, certainly not at my local council run slips where spray painting even is not allowed.
