Area for canal boat services

0

Hi,

I recently made some edits at a marina I am very familiar with:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/134256512

and being my first change, I marked it for review.

However, now that it has been "applied", I notice that the presence of Great Haywood Marine Services has vanished from the displayed map. Therefore, I assume that "boatyard" is not the correct type for their building.

Is "boatyard" supposed to be an area of open land rather than a building? What type should I be using?

Note that the building is capable of housing a boat, but also contains a small office and store room. Neighbouring the building is a white poly-tunnel where boats get sand blasted.

Thanks.

Note that changesets are always immediately "applied". Marking it for review doesn't have any effect on this. It is just an invitation for other mappers to have a look on it. Whether this happens or not, and when, doesn't change anything.

I think the waterway=boatyard would generally be the entire facility where they work on or store the boats and in many cases would include quite a large area where boats are stored 'dry'.

A building over the water where boats are stored "wet" would probably be building=boathouse, but in this case I suspect it might be a generic building=industrial.
