Hi folks

Can anyone give any advice on tagging quays on a canal? I can't find
anything in Map Features.

Basically, I need to map a small rectangular area of water on the canal
with a number of wood/concrete quays with moorings for narrowboats. For
the time being I have mapped the area as:

name: Oldfield Quays
waterway: canal
area: yes

I haven't mapped the wood/concrete quays themselves. Firstly, does this
seem a reasonable way to tag the area of water? And secondly, does
anyone have any suggestions as to how to tag the quays themselves? Any
help appreciated.
