Resort hotel panel to skim over water (10)
I believe the answer is:
hydroplane
'water' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'resort hotel panel to skim over' is the wordplay.
'resort hotel' becomes 'hydr' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'skim' means to remove the first letter (I've seen 'skimmed' mean this (to skim something is to take the top off it)).
'over' indicates an anagram.
'to' with its first letter taken away is 'o'.
'panel'+'o'='panelo'
'panelo' with letters rearranged gives 'oplane'.
'hydr'+'oplane'='HYDROPLANE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hydroplane that I've seen before include "Speedboat" , "Boat that lifts out of the water at high speeds" , "Motorboat with foils" , "Skim across water at high speed" .)
