Strip of gear, as a ship (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unrig

'strip of gear as a ship' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for unrig that I've seen before include "In rug (anag.)" , "Dismantle" , "(Of a boat) strip of its mast, stays etc" , "Take tackle out" , "Take down sails" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the LA Times.
