Whips around meeting genuine craft person (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shipwright

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

'craft person' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'whips around meeting genuine' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'meeting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'genuine' becomes 'right' (both can mean proper).
'whips' anagrammed gives 'shipw'.
'shipw'+'right'='SHIPWRIGHT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shipwright that I've seen before include "Argus, say" , "Noah, for instance" , "manufacturer of clippers?" , "Large boat builder" .)
