Cure a scampi problem at sailing event (8,3)
I believe the answer is:
americas cup
'sailing event' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'cure a scampi problem' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cure'+'a'+'scampi'='cureascampi'
'cureascampi' is an anagram of 'AMERICAS CUP'.
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for americas cup that I've seen before include "main competition" , "Yacht-racing trophy" , "Competition for boats" , "International match between two sailing yachts, first held in 1851" , "sailors want to win it" .)
