noahs ark

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

'rescue boat' is the definition.
'noahs ark' can be an answer for 'boat' (I have seen 'Biblical boat ' mean 'noahs ark' so perhaps 'boat' could also mean 'noahs ark'). I am not sure about the 'rescue' bit.

'one left his anorak after scrambling' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'left' suggests deleting specific letters.
'after scrambling' indicates an anagram.
'his'+'anorak'='hisanorak'
'hisanorak' with 'i' taken away is 'hsanorak'.
'hsanorak' with letters rearranged gives 'NOAHS ARK'.

'for' is the link.
