Brails, in a sailing ship, are small lines used to haul in or up the edges ( leeches) or corners of sails, before furling. [1] On a ship rig, these brails are most often found on the mizzen sail. The command is, hale up the brails, or, brail up the sails. [2] The word brail comes from Middle English brayle, from Anglo-French braiel belt, strap, brail, alteration of Old French braiuel belt, probably ultimately from Latin braca pant.
A brail net is a type of net incorporating brail lines on a small fishing net on a boat or castnet.
A brail net used for casting is also referred to as an English net as opposed to a Spanish net. [3]
