gunter ‎(plural gunters)

1. (sailing) A device used in sailing, for two main configurations of rig:
   1. A wire that leads from a point near the end of a gaff to a point near the other end. A block travels along this wire, and a halyard is attached to the block. This allows the gaff to be raised to the vertical by a single halyard.
