Struggle when genoa is fluttering (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agonise

'struggle' is the definition.
('struggle'->'agonize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')

'genoa is fluttering' is the wordplay.
'fluttering' is an anagram indicator.
'genoa'+'is'='genoais'
'genoais' anagrammed gives 'AGONISE'.

'when' is the link.

(Other definitions for agonise that I've seen before include "Be very worried" , "Suffer great pain over something" , "Be in torments of indecision" , "Struggle mentally" , "Suffer torment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
