Sail's made out of napkins somehow with tips from Blue Peter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spinnaker

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

'sail's' is the definition.
(spinnaker is a kind of sail)

'napkins somehow with tips from blue peter' is the wordplay.
'somehow with' is an anagram indicator.
'tips from' suggests the final letters (only the end tips of the words).
The last letters of 'blue peter' are 'er'.
'napkins' mixed up with 'er' makes 'SPINNAKER'.

'made out of' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spinnaker that I've seen before include "Large racing sail" , "Large three-cornered sail" , "Lightweight sail" , "one using the breeze" , "Large triangular sail at the front of a yacht" .)
