I believe the answer is:

sinbad

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

'legendary sailor's' is the definition.
'Sinbad' can be an answer for 'sailor's' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'legendary' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sinbad that I've seen before include "Pantomime sailor from the Arabian Nights (6)" , "Legendary sailor from Arabian nights" , "Literary sailor" , "Sailor of The thousand-and-one Nights" , "Adventurous sailor of Arabian Nights or pantomime" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
