Sideways Lasers?

A question for you Laser gurus.

One of the problems of living in an apartment rather than a house is the lack of storage. No garage or driveway to store those kayaks and dinghies.

There is the rather ominous sounding "lockup" which are cages shaped roughly 2.2m x 2.2m x 1m which is great for unwanted arm chairs, not so good for my requirements.

But the management is thinking of making more cages, so could in theory ask for a different size, something more useful, such as (say) long and thin.

If it were 4.1m x 1.5m x 0.7m then it would be the same volume but much more suitable for all sorts of craft. The door out of the lock-up is similarly more useful for a hull going through on its side. Though I'd guess that space would have to store both a hull and trolley, which might be a bit tight.

Any views on how easy it is to store a Laser, all the bits and it's trolley on it's side?
