Default Replacement sails

Hi all,

I have a RC model sailboat, un-identified, that I got at an auction about 10 years ago. It was not new then either. I have enjoyed sailing it but I have notice that the sails are starting to show their age. I think the sails are nylon but I'm not sure on that. They both have plastic battens as well and I would like the replacement sails to be as close to the originals as possible. Though maybe made of something better than nylon.

So my question is, where can I get replacement sails? I have read a few posts that suggest a normal sail maker but that is pretty heavy and stiff material for a model.

Thanks!
