Unusually achy time in sailing boat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yacht

'sailing boat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unusually achy time' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates anagramming the letters.
'time' becomes 't'.
'achy' anagrammed gives 'yach'.
'yach'+'t'='YACHT'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for yacht that I've seen before include "Sailing or motor vessel for cruising or racing" , "Sailboat" , "Light sailing-vessel for sport" , "Pleasure craft" , "Luxury purchase" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
