If you want an extremely low-cost sail, try this red-neck answer to a cheap sail.

Go to you local home construction big-box store. Buy one of those big blue tarps. Fold it on the diagonal.Using the grommet nearest the pointy part, run the doubled-up edge up the mast. Tie the downhaul and the main sheet into the nearest grommets. Go sailing!
