Thanks, Chips. I never was happy with 'kichenlad' for 31a, so will go back to the drawing-board!

Re my previous request for help.
If 7ac is PEAG then how can the sail etc. in 9 down be Jennaker? I can't find a reference to it as Gennaker and the wordplay doesn't fit - or am I being stupid?

Gennaker is an alternative spelling of jennaker. Gen is an alternative spelling of Jen.

Thanks! Definitely not one of my brighter moments as it appears in Wikepedia - but, in my defence, not in my Edition of Chambers(9th)
