not against cloth sails
but i always thought the weave was a little to big and i don't like the way they hang...
here are some pictures of some paper sails on a model of the philidelphia... they are rice paper, build up in sections and molded wet over a clay mold to give them some shape
its really interesting to me the different "feel" that different materials and techniques give models... i'm not really a "purist", and love experimenting with different approaches
