Having trouble parsing these, help much appreciated....

13a Island's sound to provide anchorage (5) - ROADS

I get that it sounds like 'Rhodes' but I can't find any crossover between the meanings of 'Roads' and 'Anchorage'.

44a State of almost complete undress, perhaps, attended by gossip (7) - MONTANA (State)

32d Well-behaved, or almost, to start with (2,4,2,4) - AS GOOD AS GOLD (Well-behaved)

40d Old country, after revolution sadly always in news, stabilised finally (9) - NYASALAND (Old country)
