Yacht leak to be fixed (8)
I believe the answer is:
keelboat
'yacht' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'leak to be fixed' is the wordplay.
'fixed' indicates an anagram.
'leak'+'to'+'be'='leaktobe'
'leaktobe' anagrammed gives 'KEELBOAT'.
(Other definitions for keelboat that I've seen before include "yacht" , "vessel" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
