Your new company Hays is partnered with a UK Trust that owns and manages 2000 miles of waterway, and the vast majority of this is open to navigation and used and enjoyed by many thousands of people on boats every day. A small part of the network is not currently open to navigation, and these sections are generally classed as unrestored.
