Rower adlibs desperately going around in unfamiliar craft? (9)
I believe the answer is:
sailboard
'unfamiliar craft?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'rower adlibs desperately going around' is the wordplay.
'rower' becomes 'oar' (I've seen this before).
'desperately' indicates anagramming the letters.
'going around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'adlibs' with letters rearranged gives 'sailbd'.
'oar' going inside 'sailbd' is 'SAILBOARD'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sailboard that I've seen before include "Plank for windsurfing" , "Windsurf" .)
