Chambers has 19 as a type of boat - but why superior?

Thanks. I'm having trouble seeing that as "put".

Lake Superior?

Where they are used, I expect.

prospero @21, not 23!

As in ‘I put it to you’ ?

Mmm - 'spose

Ugh, that was horrible. Not just difficult, but too many ‘I suppose so’ instead of ‘Ah ha!’ moments.

If anyone can help me parse 18a I’d appreciate it. I get that there’s a three letter cricket related word....

there's some latin/italian involved

I quite liked this grid, but stuck on some still - rather different ones to other people from the looks of it. I particularly enjoyed 19d. Does 14d relate to the eponymous saint of Boxing Day, because I can't parse it?
16a has me baffled:
Provided for youngster incredibly fast in race (9)
B---S-F-D (if all my letters are correct)
Any hints welcome.
