Your recent holiday on Warbler - Dusky Warbler from Alvechurch

The boat was late being ready to leave The boatyard seemed to be in chaos The Boat (Great Owl) was old and tired The boat was not that clean on handover The handover instruction was efficient This is the fourth year running we have hired through ABC. Other experiences at other boatyards was very good. Alvechurch seems to be an outlier Dusky Warbler: Hand-over was severely delayed which affected our plans for that day. Process could have been speeded up by allowing "training" and loading to have been done at the same time that repairs were completed. Delayed even more while beds were reconfigured and unbooked bedding was removed. Rear toilet was showing a red light by only 3rd day and required a stop to pump-out. Was showing full again by the end of the week. Was not being used excessively, Needed bigger tank or flushing water adjustments. Stern door bottom bolt kept falling into bolt hole. Crew locked out several times – required extreme gymnastics to open again - Annoying. The “traditional “ stern design is not very convenient especially when there are lots of people on board and getting on and off can be difficult through the only small gap at the back of the boat. Also – awkward tiller handles – hinged ones are much more convenient for crew movement. Please note that we had two boats but were only assigned this one review entry for both.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Tawny Lark from Hilperton

We had a wonderful time except for the amount of derelict -abandoned boats, sunken vessels abusive tramplike residents abusing ABC CUSTOMERS they blamed for sinking their scrap vessel. To many boats moored up on the canal these boats have not moved in years and are not capable of doing so .(licences out of date) etc
