Crossword Genius

Lucky to get stuck on yacht (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jammy

'lucky' is the definition.

'get stuck on yacht' is the wordplay.
'get stuck' becomes 'jam' ('jam' can be a synonym of 'get stuck').
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'yacht' becomes 'my' (abbreviation for motor yacht).
'jam'+'my'='JAMMY'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for jammy that I've seen before include "Fortunate; sticky?" , "Lucky - as conserve" , "Lucky (and sticky?)" , "Lucky (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
