Naked rests disturbed round Noah's craft (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

starkers

'naked' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rests disturbed round noah's craft' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates anagramming the letters (the order of letters is disturbed).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'noah's craft' becomes 'ark' (I've seen this in another clue).
'rests' anagrammed gives 'sters'.
'sters' enclosing 'ark' is 'STARKERS'.

(Other definitions for starkers that I've seen before include "exposed" , "uncovered" , "Not wearing a stitch" , "Like fairytale emperor" , "Bare (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
