Her yacht needs a refit (5)

I believe the answer is:

cathy

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

'her' is the definition.

'yacht needs a refit' is the wordplay.
'yacht' anagrams to 'CATHY'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

(Another definition for cathy that I've seen is " girl".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
