OK - where to start... The straightforward ones first. Lex, Cheryl - good calls Remi, Cheryl - given my past record, a very reasonable question to ask.  But, yes it is 9, although schoONEr gets a consolation prize Lady K - it fits the length and pretty well fits the clue, so I'll go with it. (I had paRAKEet)
