Your recent holiday on Warbler - Canada Warbler from Gailey Wharf

Everything was amazing, this is one of the best boats I’ve hired and would highly recommend Just a few minor comments: hooks for blinds in a tight corridor keep catching on clothing and breaking. Locks for the back door are weak and have broken. The ropes sink in the Canal! The cooker hood is low and we keep banging our heads. Corkscrew has broken as it was a basic one.

Only thing I could recommend would be a quick coupler attachment for the water. But I just went and talked to other boaters from the area no worries.
