Course right for boat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liner

'for boat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'course right' is the wordplay.
'course' becomes 'line' (synonyms).
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'line'+'r'='LINER'

(Other definitions for liner that I've seen before include "Large passenger vessel" , "Passenger transport" , "It covers bin's interior" , "Pleasure cruiser" , "Large passenger or cargo ship travelling on regular route" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
