So I've finished it hem-hem, apart from 51d - ?r?a. I don't want to ruin it by just bunging 'orca' in for no reason I can fathom (apart from 'Jaws' and that wasn't a sailing boat). Any thoughts anyone? BTW - some of the clues in this crossword were straining acceptability I thought.

I just googled proa and you're right. Bit iffy though.........
Twice :-)
No, not iffy - it's a boat
Yes, indeed. Credit where credit's due. :-)
Nothing remotely iffy about it.

Well I won't debate associating 'working girl' with 'prostitute' but I thank you all for your help. (Thinks: must get out more)
More modern PC term is 'Sex Worker' these days.
