Clutching at straws here, but would a car port be any good to protect a wood boat over winter? Obviously it isn't going to provide much in the way of warmth but would keep the elements out and possibly the worst of the frost?

Excuse my ignorance but I've only ever really had glass/frp boats

I have kept my wooden boat in a carport for a long time. It was protected by fence panels on one side and the end was sheltered. As Jim says if you can keep the boat dry and aired you can stored outside upside down. Raise the boat off the ground and put a sheet over her with room an old mast or similar cut down to hold the sheet off the boat. As long as she is dry the frost cant do to much damage. Airflow is important.
Beware though a small puddle of water can do a huge amount of damage over a winter.
