Build me a Spanish sailor's craft (10)

I believe the answer is:

seamanship

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

'sailor's craft' is the definition.
'seamanship' can be an answer for 'craft' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'sailor's' bit.

'build me a spanish' is the wordplay.
'build' is an anagram indicator.
'me'+'a'+'spanish'='measpanish'
'measpanish' anagrammed gives 'SEAMANSHIP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seamanship that I've seen before include "Sailing skills" , "Skill of a sailor" .)
