Craft to moor at front of barge at sea (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motorboat

'craft' is the definition.
(motorboat is a kind of craft)

'to moor at front of barge at sea' is the wordplay.
'front of' suggests taking the first letters.
'at sea' indicates an anagram.
The initial letter of 'barge' is 'b'.
'to'+'moor'+'at'+'b'='tomooratb'
'tomooratb' is an anagram of 'MOTORBOAT'.

(Another definition for motorboat that I've seen is " powered vessel".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
