Did you whip stitch the edge ropes to the sails or is that glued on too with the acrylic medium?

Ropes are glued to double edge of sail with acrylic medium.

once the sail is complete can it be rewetted and dried in a shape to give it a weathered wind billowed look?

When wetted the acrylic medium softens and sail can be formed to certain extent. I tried with blowing on it with hair dryer at high heat. It kept some form.
