A Gunter rig typically features a single sail, known as the Gunter sail, which is characterized by its triangular shape and the use of a gaff to raise the upper part of the sail. However, depending on the design and purpose of the boat, some Gunter-rigged vessels may have additional sails, such as a jib or a staysail. Overall, the primary focus is usually on the main Gunter sail, which is raised to harness wind power effectively.
