RIBnet PhD Thesis in Sociology
I think there's scope within the RIBnet membership for a Sociology PhD thesis.
It's possible, on the basis of some of the academia crap I have to read, that there may even be scope for a govt educational grant 
The hypothesis is that there is correlation between what boating shoes you wear, what outboard you have, what RIB you have, how opinionated you are 
Any takers?

I can see you with more flashy "designer" colours, like:
Cherry
Umber
Neon
Tangerine

Cherry is red
Umber, ok you have a point there
Neon isn't a colour
Tangerine is Orange
Avocado is green
Midnight blue is still blue and so is baby blue....
Unless you really want to list every hyplalon shade there is I think we just need to add brown which includes beige
Suggestion.....
Brown - Likes picking peanuts out of poo!
