I believe the answer is:

ketch

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

'boat' is the definition.
(ketch is a type of sailing boat)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ketch that I've seen before include "2-masted boat" , "Small sailing vessel with two masts" , "Two-masted sailing ship" , "The craft" , "Two-masted sailing vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
