It takes a good man to manoeuvre a boat round Beachy Head (5)
I believe the answer is:
abbot
'it takes a good man' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'manoeuvre a boat round beachy head' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvre' indicates an anagram.
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'head' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'beachy' is 'b'.
'boat' is an anagram of 'abot'.
'abot' enclosing 'b' is 'ABBOT'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abbot that I've seen before include "monastic leader" , "Convent leader, male" , "Head of abbey" , "Supervisor of brothers" , "Monastery chief" .)
