I've noticed a lot of dinghies with "T/T <i>INSERT BOAT NAME HERE</i>" painted on them. What does the "T/T" stand for?

Yes, "tender to...." and many long distance cruisers are reluctant to put this on the dinghy transom nowadays, because your dinghy ashore (with T/T) means YOU are ashore and your boat may be available to rifle. Fair winds, ron srsk Orion SW FL

I agree with the risk, but what's the option if you're a cruiser? If it's not T/T then it needs to be registered in a state which could be problematic for the nomadic life.

Cathy, you can name a tender anything you like--same name as mother vessel, a name related, a name completely unrelated, or no name. Registration almost always has to do with whether the li'l vesel has a motor: If yes, then it needs to be registered, usually. If rowed, most states do not require a number for boats propelled by oars only. Fair windsd, ron Orion srsk SW FL

I agree with Cathy... I think there are some issues with not having a tender identified as belonging to a specific vessel when you are in foreign countries.

Not that it applies to most of use with C25's.
