Arguing about arrangement, losing turn in vessel (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rowing boat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vessel' is the definition.
(I know that rowing boat is a type of boat)

'arguing about arrangement losing turn' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'arguing' could be 'rowing' (I've seen this before) and 'rowing' is present in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'turn' could be 't' (abbreviation in Oxford Dictionary of Abbreviations) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'bo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rowing boat that I've seen before include "Small vessel propelled by oars" , "Maybe eight" .)
