Vessel, Old English, no kayak (5)
I believe the answer is:
canoe
'no kayak' is the definition.
'canoe' can be an answer for 'kayak' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'no' bit.
'vessel old english' is the wordplay.
'vessel' becomes 'can' (type of container).
'old english' becomes 'OE'.
'can'+'oe'='CANOE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for canoe that I've seen before include "Small boat for paddling" , "Boat one paddles" , "Primitive boat" , "Boat (that can be dug out!)" , "Small boat with paddles" .)
