You’re very observant, yes I converted Sparge from a lug rig to a gunter rig last winter, I decided I would enjoy more versatility with a three sail configuration, especially the ability to run under jib and mizzen in stronger weather. The boat is a little more complicated with shrouds and jib sheets, but I like the new rig very much.
