Fisheries
Spanish term or phrase: cascarón
Este texto trata sobre la industria pesquera de España, particularmente de Galicia. "Sólo las lógicas y necesarias regulaciones biológicas han puesto límites a un pueblo cuyos hombres y mujeres saben bien desde hace siglos lo que es poner rumbo en la noche a bordo de un CASCARÓN, a merced de un escenario no siempre apetecible." ¿Alguien conoce un término así de coloquial en inglés para referirse a una embarcación pequeña?

Gracias!
