I think that one of the few ways it might be feasible would be vacuum forming. It would still be a lot of work, but if you've done it once you could get may sails of the same size out of it.

Vac forming is certainly the way to go for ease of manufacture. Once your mould was made you could multi form a whole ships sails or even two out of one sheet. Cutting the curves would be easy after the moulding was complete. I have a special pair of tin-snips that can do curves. It is far easier to make a male mould too than a female one.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
I share some photos another boat that I made this weekend. Is a Falucho (Llaut). Corsair ship in the service of the Spanish crown.
Now I have a pattern for a bit more action in the Med Julián.
Thank you very much.
