About Brail
City · Graubünden
Brails, in a sailing ship, are small lines used to haul in or up the edges (leeches) or corners of sails, before furling. On a ship rig, these brails are most often found on the mizzen sail. To haul and furl the sails, the command used in the early 18th century was hale up the brails or brail up the sails.
