I would go Fureled Sails. Just remember that ALL the rigging of the sails is still in tact. (as the sails are only hoisted up). Now, the material. To imitate the furled sail, to will have to greatly reduce the material as it is going to have to be tucked.
just go to this post to see how I did this.

Santisima Trinidad - Occre Build Log [COMPLETED BUILD]
Re: OcCre Santisima Trinidad Build Log Not much to say other than this is turning into an ordeal - I thought I would never figure out how to do this first one. One little hint. I am not using all of the sail material. About 1/2 is not being used, otherwise, the furle would be too thick. EDIT...

I added furled sails made from silk span to my Pegasus and was really pleased with how it looked. You can see how it came out here https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2554-hms-pegasus-164-amati-victory-models-by-techtonic/.
I did make the mistake of adding a sail to the lower mizzenmast yard before I realized that yard should not have a sail.

I have opted for furled sails but using model aircraft tissue and overall pleased with the results. https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/sails-or-no-sails.11233/post-304252
And your model came out beautifully! Brilliant job!!!
Is it too late to add some sails? I don’t any sail plans and an sure I can fit them on now that the running rigging is finished. I’m open for help!
Now it will be not easy, because you already installed all the yardarms, which you have to remove in order to fix the sails to the yardarms
