What does the acronym "SIB" mean to you?
I've just had an email from Boatworld, which reads:-

"Discover our dedicated section for Small Inflatable Boats (SIBs)"

I have always understood the acronym SIB to mean soft inflatable boat. Does anyone else use the term to mean small inflatable boat?

Soft Inflatable Boat as opposed to Rigid Inflatabe Boat.

Think Boatworld are having a bit of a moment.

Judging by the attitudes of some on here towards other's opinions, perhaps it's:

Socially Inept Boaters.

Found an old thread where a similar question was asked, best suggestion then was:-

Sex In "a" Boat

Just to get out in a boat would do me at the moment!
