Get damaged boat home (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obtain

'get' is the definition.
('obtain' can be a synonym of 'get')

'damaged boat home' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'boat' is an anagram of 'obta'.
'obta'+'in'='OBTAIN'

(Other definitions for obtain that I've seen before include "Get or lay hold of" , "'Get, acquire (6)'" , "Acquire or procure" , "Take possession of" , "Hold good" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
