Default Bails?

Hello,
Do you mean a crane to hang a spinnaker block on? That's the platform on top of the mast that projects the block(s) forward and to the side, to clear the jibstay. We get local fabricators to make ours to suit each boat, but a good sparbuilder should be able to turn one out for you. You'll probably want one that holds a single block, well forward and angling outboard, so it can fly on either tack without snarling up in the furler. Make it strong.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
