I believe the answer is:

cynthia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'female' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'going round in yacht' is the wordplay.
'going round' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'yacht'='inyacht'
'inyacht' is an anagram of 'CYNTHIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cynthia that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Girl's name" , "Girl" .)
