No,
I hope it's not too hard. I don't really want to do this again tomorrow.

That's OK - you won't have to do it tomorrow.
We don't do it on Saturday, so it'll be Monday instead.

I think you may have to do it again on Monday - I have absolutely no idea where to start

Well,
It's a simple charade type. I assumed it would be solved in under 10 minutes once the first three letters were discovered.

I can only think on Nonet which would be Nt with one missing

I figured it might start with ENN, which is why I tried "Enneagonal" - but no...

But if the start of the clue makes the first three letters then the definition is more likely to be something to do with the (stern of the) ship right?
I am not close anyway, everything I try seems to fall short.

Which leaves me with ENGINEROOM which is two words and doesn't fit the rest of the clue either.
Oh well, we'll find out in twenty minutes or so!

It probably is to Rancor ... but it went "WHOOOOOOSH!" with me.

And me I can't think what he means by nine with one missing, Nonet - one = Nt and that's as far as I've got

My guess was that super was close with it starting with "Ten", but I can't find a word that fits the rest of the clue with that

Nincompoop
Nin = Nine with one (letter) removed
com = corporate site/domain, as in ".com"
poop = as in poop deck

What part of the ship is that?

I imagine if you ask a captain, he might tell you he has at least one of them working for him 
But I think the definition part has just been left out to be honest, which is probably why it took so long
