71. taste wines not showing in the middle vessel (????)

50 Shiftless person given leftist backing about break (7) ???????

60 safe craft can go equally well either way (5,4) ????? ????

Many thanks, cheers, Chox.

50 Type of fishing boat (not a trawler)
The break is a 4 letter word as in the African Great _ _ _ _ Valley
Put this "break" inside a three letter colour used for a Communist which is reversed. The fishing boat name can also be a shiftless person.

71 Look at the middle letters of the first 4 words

[chokkie]

That's great, many thanks - worked it out fairly quickly. Cheers, Chox.

60 the first part is a word for a safe

[chokkie]

got the middle letters of the first four words in 71 - but what has that got to do with boats or anything marine related, please?

[chokkie]

60 - "safe" as in something you put valuables in? sorry, still don't get it ...

[elliemay1]

Google the word you got +ship

[elliemay1]

Yes, it's a slang word for a safe and is also a boy's name

71 now you have the word research how it's related.

[chokkie]

Yes, definitely sorted now. Thanks to everyone for their help today. I had no idea what that particular thing was until today - for years I lived near a pub with that name, and had no idea what it was! You learn something new every day!
