Just stuck on one last one, so any clues or other help would be appreciated.

81. No sails for a gypsy (10)

A friend has suggested 'Chichester' but I don't know how this fits the clue, can someone please explain? (I originally thought it might be 'Portsmouth' as it might be something to with the Spinnaker Tower landmark, but don't know how that fits either!) I'm probably barking up the wrong tree!

Many thanks in advance in anticipation for your help!

Could be Chichester.
Sir Francis Chichester sailed round the world in his yacht Gypsy Moth IV

Perhaps your friend is thinking of Sir Francis CHICHESTERS' boat The Gypsy Moth but not sure how that ties in with your answer?!!!

Thanks to daftgrandad and BertieButton for their thoughts on Chichester for the answer and its possible link to the question, much appreciated.

I've been trying to make it fit the clue but not quite sure how it does at the moment as it is the "no sails" bit that gets me confused!

Just had the answer to no.81 explained to me so I thought I'd share it!

The answer is Chichester, from Sir Francis Chichester, who is famous for circumnavigating the globe in his yacht 'Gypsy Moth IV'. Whilst Gypsy Moth II and Gypsy Moth III were yachts, Gypsy Moth I was in fact an aeroplane (a de Havilland Gypsy Moth) flown by Sir Francis in his career as an aviator. (In 1929 Francis Chichester made the second solo flight to Australia; in 1931, the first solo flight across the Tasman Sea from East to West in his Gypsy Moth aeroplane fitted with floats).

Hence 'Chichester' fits the clue of 'no sails for a gypsy'!
