ship cradle
I've discovered that 'cuna' is also 'basada'.

basada.
(De basa1).
1. f. Aparato armado en la grada debajo del buque, para botarlo al agua.

A Ship cradle is a support, made of wood or metal, to hold a ship or boat upright on land so that the vessel can be built or repaired. The vessel is chocked up by wooden chocks and fixed on the cradle. The ship cradle is built near the seashore, river side or water side or in a dry dock.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_cradle
At first I thought it was the draught of the dock, but after discovering that 'cuna' is also 'basada'; 'un aparato armado' then it can only be 'cradle'.
The weight of the ship must be moved from the keel blocks and shores that supported it during construction to the cradle, a supporting structure made of two enormous wooden side slides that will make the ship slide down the slipway with the help of a lubricating grease. Before letting the ship slide down, the blocks are gradually removed. The aft blocks are the most dangerous ones because they support an enormous load.

: "CUNA: Soporte de hierro o de madera formando una armazón, destinados a sostener un buque cuando sube a varadero." http://www.delfinburgos.es/diccionario.htm. This is clearer to me than DRAE definition.

Thank you! I found the answer at home, in a paper dictionary. I used the reference given by the RAE because people often trust it more than other dictionaries, although I only ever use it to answer questions here!
