Dol(l)drums looks good, Escher.

3, tender 12.
Do you have an answer for 12?
A tender could be a kind of boat, like pinnace or dinghy.

A skipjack is a boat for dredging oysters

4.
(nautical) an American sloop used for oystering and as a yacht

Also a tuna!

I think I've lost the plot. I thought tender was connected with answer 8 and not 12. So probably not skipjack

Jazzgirl, we are going to need some kind of help with 12.
I DID wonder about your skipjack!

unless 12 is the actual clue number on the quiz sheet, and gardengirl has just shiwn her clues as 1 to 8 here

Well, I have just looked up 12 letter boats, and the only likely one is "fore-and-after".
Now, Jazzgirl, you are the forum sailor, what do you think?

Sorry, rusty, I meant the actual clue number on the list on the quiz sheet rather than the letter count.
Still waiting to hear from gardengirl.
I had not heard of fore-and-after. Just fore and aft being two ends of a boat.
