Can anyone parse "latrine" as answer to this clue:
"Sailor's rung with confused directions for convenience " 7 letters, ?ATR?N?
The last bit is obvious, but is the anag. of "tar" the sailor? If so, how come confused directions? Why "rung" (in any sense)?

direction = line

Ratline, part of a rope ladder on a ship. Swap left, L and right, R.

Yes much better.

Thanx, ginge! So now we're finished --- ready to enjoy a sunny warm bright day here!

Can I be rude & tag onto this thread.

27a Twist to take off with gang following us
around close to Fagin (7) ??S?L??

23d Take back fruit that's not good
(8, hyphened) R???????

27a unscrew the r coming from latrine
23d (G)re-engage

Many thanks.
