	Wellington boot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wellington boot, also known as a welly, a wellie, a gumboot or a rubber boot, is a type of boot based upon Hessian boots worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington and fashionable among the British aristocracy in the early 19th century.
		Gumboots are often referred to in Kiwi popular culture such as Footrot Flats.
		Most gumboots are fl, but those worn by abattoir workers, butchers, and by hospital operating theatre staff and surgeons are white, and children's sizes come in multiple colours.

	Gumboots Update
		Interest in a version of Gumboots that could be transported in a container led to a concept redesign, involving a more conventional bottom shape to enable a narrower overall hull.
		Gumboots is a small yacht, really best for 3 on a trip, but very safe offshore with thru bridgedeck draining, high clearance, deep cockpits and extreme stability.
		On a good day, reaching in the basic 2 ton no-frills clear decked 31 foot Gumboots with the sail plan drawn, you would be cruising along happily with a 21 knot wind off the beam and the full sail plan up, alert for gusts, and your sails developing 25 horsepower.

	CANOE -- JAM! Theatre - Gumboots Review - These gumboots are sure made for stomping
		As its title implies, the primary focus of Gumboots is that ubiquitous footwear -- known in other climes as Wellingtons or simply Wellies -- favoured by puddle-jumpers the world over.
		Of course, puddle jumping isn't their only use -- and in South Africa in the days of apartheid, gumboots were pressed into service by the white owners of goldmines when it was discovered that they presented a cheap alternative to underground pumps.
		There's little revolutionary in the way Gumboots' artists find a powerful, throbbing beat in the stamping of their feet and the slapping of their boots.
