Regarding anchors, minimally hoisted by strong current (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atrip

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

'regarding anchors minimally hoisted' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'by strong current' is the wordplay.
'by' becomes 'at'.
'strong current' becomes 'rip' (rip current is a kind of current. I am not sure about the 'strong' bit.).
'at'+'rip'='ATRIP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for atrip that I've seen is " just out of bed".)

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