"Skipper with crew reaching wreck " 3,2,6.

I can't decide beteween MAN IN CHARGE and MEN IN CHARGE (either fits). IN CHARGE is an anagram of reaching, but is it Man or Men? The former excludes "crew" , the latter doesn't make such good sense!

Can anyone help?

I opted for MAN because the SKIPPER is not the MEN in charge, he's the MAN in charge. To "crew" (as a verb) is to "serve as a crew member on," or to "man" a ship.
I agree - skipper is the subject and therefore I thought it should man in charge.
It's a dilemma, isn't it. I suppose skipper may sway the answer in favour of man but...crew suggests men. I used man so I think the correct answer is men!!! Stu
