I believe the answer is:

anson

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

'an old sailor' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'so ann goes out' is the wordplay.
'goes out' indicates an anagram.
'so'+'ann'='soann'
'soann' is an anagram of 'ANSON'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for anson that I've seen is " George ____, circumnavigator and admiral, 1697-1762".)
