For whom sailoring is a bit of a fag? (3)
I believe the answer is:
tar
'fag?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Informal sailor or road surfacing material" , "Dark viscous flammable substance" , "Viscous liquid; sailor" , "Familiar sailor - what a rat" , "Thick flammable liquid" .)
