Crossword Genius

Chest many designed for sailors (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yachtsmen

'sailors' is the definition.
(type of sailors)

'chest many designed' is the wordplay.
'designed' indicates an anagram (designed with the letters).
'chest'+'many'='chestmany'
'chestmany' is an anagram of 'YACHTSMEN'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for yachtsmen that I've seen is " Sailors".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
