embarcación tirando a grande / nada pequeña / grandecita


Explanation:
Otra posibilidad...

"El índice y el anular suelen ser cuadrados, mientras que el dedo medio
y el meñique pueden ser puntiagudos; pulgar **tirando a grande**".
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
"Nuevos Horizontes
... en una lancha de pasajeros que no era **nada pequeña**. Recuerdo como si fuese. ... embarcación
como Pedro por su casa; mucha gente acostumbrada a esas...".

Un cordial saludo.
