Rev with beer finds an edge at sea (7)
I believe the answer is:
gunwale
'an edge at sea' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'rev with beer' is the wordplay.
'rev' becomes 'gun' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' becomes 'w' (short for with).
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'gun'+'w'+'ale'='GUNWALE'
'finds' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gunwale that I've seen before include "part of boat" , "Part of craft" , "board" , "Top of boat's side" , "Upper edge of ship's side" .)
