Presumably no master sailor, love autumn winds (4,2,3,6)

I believe the answer is:

jack of all trades

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

'presumably no master' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'sailor love autumn winds' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'jack' (informal term for a sailor).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'autumn' becomes 'fall' (synonyms).
'winds' becomes 'trades' (trade is a kind of wind).
'jack'+'o'+'fall'+'trades'='JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jack of all trades that I've seen before include "flexible man for the job?" , "Versatile player" , "One versatile playing" , "unlikely to be a master" , "Handyman" .)
