Alexander and eight of the Germans bring sailboat on shore (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sand yacht

'sailboat on shore' is the definition.
(wheeled vehicle with a sail)

'alexander and eight of the germans' is the wordplay.
'alexander' becomes 'Sandy' (nickname for Alexander).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'eight of the germans' becomes 'acht' ('eight' in German).
'sandy'+'acht'='SAND YACHT'

'bring' acts as a link.

(Another definition for sand yacht that I've seen is " Vessel at beach".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
