Would a 6 Mt Sib be considered small ? I guess Semi Inflatable Boat , Soft Inflatable Boat, Sex In Boat will apply properly...

Happy Boating

Soft inflatable boat

It's a term popularised by Keith Hart a few years ago, but looking back at the original thread it apparently originated in Sweden!

A more accurate description would be foldable inflatable boat, but the noone around here wants to admit to FIBbing.
