What does "T.T." mean on tenders ?

Does anyone know what the abbreviation T.T. means when used on a tender ( e.g. T.T. Gypsy Moth ) ?

Telex Transfer - it's sometimes requested as the payment method in commercial tenders. That was what the OP was on about wasn't it? No, oh then I'll go to bed.

Whoa there Stork III - you're heading for a world of pain!

Talking of which, I came around a corner on a steep hill at work yesterday and the BMW which had been a couple of minutes ahead of me was jammed across a grass bank with the rear wheels having no traction and the car not being able to reverse any further down the hill because the twin exhausts (a V8 I assume) were embedded into the tarmac.

I got out of my car and walked over to the drivers door and the window wound down and there was a lady driver, probably in her early 40s. I asked her how she managed to get her car into such an unusual position and she smiled and replied "I'm a woman and I tried to reverse!". A perfect response in the circumstances, I thought! :)

We got a Landy to pull her out - no real damage done thankfully!

It used to be considered good manners, to ask a lady "do you reverse?

Before you thrust your knee between her open throbbing thighs whilst dancing of course.:o
 
For those concerned about identifying their tender with the mothership's name for security reasons but who are compelled to mark it for insurance purposes, check your policies. The last two insurers I have used demanded only that it had a unique indelible marking, so a mobile phone number or postcode would suffice.
 
My mrs was in our tender in a bikini one summer and the boat name had faded but the TT was still clear, my non boaty brother whilst visiting asked if TT stood for "two tits"

I've also come across the suggestion of marking it on the underneath, where the thieves won't find it unless they routinely go along the dinghy dock tipping all the boats upside down :)

Phone number's a good idea though, will also let honest people call you if they find it after blowing away, or if there's some problem with it while you're in the pub.
