set the iron to low and put the sails under a tshirt or other fabric face DOWN so the decals are facing the ironing board. then the shirt on top and iron away!

Yes, definitely put some material between the sails and the iron - a sheet or clothe will also suffice.

DO NOT use steam or have any water in the iron! Humidity tends to introduce mildew to the sails and unslightly brown patches begin to appear.

Thank you for telling me thats a lot of help!

Do you mean the classic pirate sets or the 2009 one's

Very cool links to various tutorials on all counts. This will be helpful for those of us who did not keep our old Pirates sets at the onset of our dark ages. I'm still ashamed of that. But thank goodness for Bricklink!

I am making an MOC ship to go alongside the Brickbeard's Bounty, and I am wondering if anyone knows what the name of the material that Lego uses to make their sails is called. It seems more like paper than cloth to me. I want to get something close to what the Bounty uses to make the new ships sails.

[Captain Blackmoor]

The hull of my ship is almost finished and I have to think about the rigging. I've seen lots of nice ways to make custom sails and I think I'm going to combine some ideas.
Thanks for this turtorial!

I'm working on making custom sails for my BB. I intend to turn it into a Imperial Soldier ship for a little while.
