Definition
- 1Grueso, robusto o fuerte pescante que sale de las bordas del castillo hacia afuera por una y otra banda, con tres cajeras y sus correspondientes roldanas de bronce, y una gran pasteca en la cara lateral de popa, en unos barcos, o en la de proa, en otros, para suspender las anclas desde que el arganeo llega a la superficie del agua, a fin de ponerlas en su lugar cuando se va a dar la vela, o de mantenerlas apeadas y prontas para dejarlas caer cuando ha de dárseles fondo. En lo antiguo era levadizo o de quita y pon, y servía para una y otra banda. Comúnmente son las serviolas de madera; pero hay buques que las usan de hierro.
- 2Pescante que se afirma y sale fuera de la borda de una chata para suspender un buque del fondo.
