Eskimo boat (5)
I believe the answer is:
kayak
'eskimo boat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for kayak that I've seen before include "A small covered canoe" , "Small canoe - a palindrome" , "Inuit's light canoe" , "Type of canoe" , "Arctic canoe" .)
