Making Sails from Polytarp.
Having a suit of sails made can be an expensive item and can easily double the cost of your sailing canoe. There are one or two companies like Really Simple Sails reallysimplesails.com/ who cater for the home builder but if you are really looking to save money or if you are still at the experimental stage you can quite easily make your own. They may not draw like a set professionally made but they should get you where you want to go.
Maybe even back again if you are lucky.
