Skill in boat-building? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

craft

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

'skill' is the definition.
(I know that craft is a type of skill)

'boat-building?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'boat' could be 'raft' (I've seen this before) and 'raft' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'c' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for craft that I've seen before include "Skill, cunning" , "Cunning in a well-built ship" , "boats" , "Cunning - trade" , "It requires special skill" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
