Best Answer

It depends what type of sailing ship:

Modern, racing dinghies have between 1 and 3

Old, battleships like those in Pirates of the Caribbean can have 15 or more!

In general though, a sailing boat has the large mainsail, a smaller foresail or jib, and perhaps a large balloon-like spinnaker at the very front.
