The downwind side of a ship or island (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lee

(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "Sheltered from the wind in Cork, perhaps" , "actor" , "Confederate general" , "Bruce ___, martial arts ace" , "Revolutionary general" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
