They can show you the arts of seamanship (4)
I believe the answer is:
tars
'they' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'show you the arts of seamanship' is the wordplay.
'arts' can be anagrammed to 'TARS'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.
'can' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tars that I've seen is " Sailors".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
