A rest uplifted blessed leader, largely a boater’s cousin? (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
panama hat
'boater's cousin?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for panama hat that I've seen before include "Tile" , "informal headgear" , "capital cover" , "Woven headgear" , "Item of headgear" .)
