Last clue.

Going end to end needs a stable sail, otherwise you may find time it will not tell!

An easy one . . .

Tight in bright light
But flabby by night
Tie a good knot
Or you're stuck on the yacht

You may hear me cough
Never bray
Perhaps a wheeze on a cold, dank day
When the wind blows
My shape won’t change
And there was a time
when I was not so prime.
