Crossword Genius

Cold, like a man on board? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draughty

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cold' is the first definition.
(a draught makes you cold)

'like a man on board?' is the second definition.
(like a draught in the board game draughts)

(Other definitions for draughty that I've seen before include "like a beer, > cold?" , "letting in current?" , "Cold and windy" , "breezy" , "Letting the wind in" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
