Chest many designed for sailors (9)
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.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
