12. Foil... Fleuret. ( a fencing foil)

[Neveracrossword]

...it's 'number of ships' - fleet, with the 'ur' coming from the last pair (of letters) in 'harbour.

SOo

Last one as auger hole messed up an answer: Lout upset with stuff in post BOL_A_D must surely be bollard but why? I think bord is an iriush word meaing a lout but can't find it online

[Neveracrossword]

Lob is a lout ('upset' makes him 'bol'), lard could (maybe) mean stuff -
Bol lard.

[doctordolittle]

Merriam Webster:

Lard (verb):
(Cookery) to prepare (lean meat, poultry, etc) by inserting small strips of bacon or fat before cooking
to add extra material to (speech or writing); embellish
to supplement or enrich with something for improvement or ornamentation: a literary work larded with allusions.

All could mean stuff. Good enough for me. Thanks for your help, Scorpiojo!!
