The clue

Who a rough crossing never troubles, and what steadies a drifting team.

The rack

Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.

O15R18W23R18F6N14A1P16I9A1L12C3E5O15H8S19T20E5

The answer

2 words, hitting 133 exactly: SAILOR ANCHOR.

S19A1I9L12O15R18= 74
+A1N14C3H8O15R18= 59

SAILOR 74 + ANCHOR 59 = 133. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.

A new puzzle every day.
