Clever about boats? (6)
I believe the answer is:
crafty
'clever' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'boats?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'boats?' could be 'craft' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'craft' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'y' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crafty that I've seen before include "Cunning - shrewd" , "Cunning and artful" , "Sly" , "'Cunning, wily (6)'" , "Guileful" .)
