She's where the boats are (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marina

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

'she's' is the definition.

'the boats are' is the wordplay.
'the boats' becomes 'marin' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'are' becomes 'a' (short for 'are', historical unit of measurement).
'marin'+'a'='MARINA'

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for marina that I've seen before include "Pleasure-boat dock" , "Berthing area for yachts" , "Harbour for pleasure yachts and small boats" , "Dock for yachts and cruisers" , "Airman (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
