Estoy traduciendo un texto sobre barcos pesqueros. En él aparecen mencionadas las pastecas, entre ellas las de maniobra. Sé lo que son las pastecas. Lo que no encuentro es un equivalente al inglés para pastecas de maniobra. ¿Cómo se traduce "pastecas de maniobra" al inglés?
Un saludo
Manuel Cañedo.

snatch block
This is kind of hinged block that opens to admit the standing part of a rope, instead of having to reeve it from the working or bitter ends. Maniobra is often a general term for the ropes controlling the vessels or its gear. You'll often see ads for sailing boats with the words " maniobra reenviada a bañera" meaning you can -supposedly- reef and hand the sails from the cockpit by tugging on one or more of a several of ropes. But which ones? and what does what?
Maniobra also means to manoeuvre. But what manoeuvre does the text refer to?
You could get away with just snatch block and may have to unless you know for certain what the rope is doing.

Fishing sample gear snatch block.
As you can see in the photos, the pasteca opens at the side to let the standing part of the rope or cable in and out, the bitter end being on the winch, the working end on the sea bed. the snatch block guides the cable towards the winch.
Maniobra also means to manoeuvre. But what manoeuvre does the text refer to?

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your help. The manoeuvre the text is referring to is a "maniobra de muestreo de pesca". That's all the mention to a manoeuvre in this case. |

A block is a set of pulleys or "sheaves" mounted on a single axle. An assembly of blocks with a rope threaded through the pulleys is called tackle. A block and tackle system amplifies the tension force in the rope to lift heavy loads. They are common on boats and sailing ships, where tasks are often performed manually.

Peter is the expert on all things nautical, so don't put too much faith in my guesswork :)
