An excerpt from the "Encyclopedia of Nautical Knowledge": Brail. A rope used as a leechline or buntline for hauling a sail in against the mast, preparatory to or instead of stowing. Brails are fitted to fore-and-aft and lateen sails … Brail in, to take a sail in by means of brails. Worked fine on my first M15 jib, will take photos of it installed on my current M15 "Rejoyce!" in the near future. Someone please tell this technically impoverished Old Goat how you provide links to photos with a submission here. Do it now! You can't do it any younger…
John: Thanks for clearing that up. You can attach a small photo to your email to the list, but if it is over 40K (I think) the server won't take it. Send me a private email and I'll post it and give you the web address. --Gary Hyde gmhyde1@mac.com 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.
