English term or phrase: wench
The boat operator brings the daughter boat into the notch of the mother boat, then one of the operators on the mother boat will hook into the nose of the daughter boat and wench it aboard.

Should I use "halar"?
Becky Spangle
levantarlo a bordo con el torno / el cabrestante
Explanation:
I think it is supposed to be 'winch' it aboard. A wench is a young woman, often of easy virtue.
