Starting Clue Chain 8 - all welcome 😊

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.  If nobody has answered the clue within 30 minutes, the setter should post a further hint and so on until the clue is solved.

Clue: 

Pass student is leading to a charged particle crash (9)

Hi everyone, I'm still around. The thread is only mine by proxy, the original idea was from miser but he seems to have opted out of late. But I do agree that clues should preferably be home-made, although I have been tempted to plagiarise in the past, especially with Which? crossword which has what I regard as very similar style clues as to those which emerge here.

And I'm sorry, but the current clue is baffling me at present but I'll keep working on it.

The pirate clue = the cry from any ship beng attacked by pirates is "stand by to repel boarders" (in the movie world anyway).

Repel means to push away. Eg when you absil down a rope you repel yourself from the rocks on a rope.

Thanks both - I'd never have solved that - piracy on the high seas and all that.🛳
