Transport used by some shedding hydrophobia? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dinghy

'transport' is the definition.
(dinghy is a kind of transport)

'used by some shedding hydrophobia?' is the wordplay.
'used by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'DINGHY' is hidden in the letters of 'some shedding hydrophobia'.

(Other definitions for dinghy that I've seen before include "Small boat, may be a rubber inflatable" , "craft" , "vessel" , "little boat" , "Small rowing or sailing boat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
