Upper-class quietly shunning sauce boat (5)

I believe the answer is:

ketch

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

'boat' is the definition.
(ketch is a kind of sailing vessel)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for ketch that I've seen before include "Two-masted sailing ship" , "Two-masted sailing boat" , "Small sailing vessel with two masts" , "The craft" , "Jack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
