The fast way is to create a mold/shape (something you already did) and select the faces to be used and apply the Shell Extrude command - moving the mouse to set a small thick to your sail. When you finish the command a new object will be created and you can delete or hide the "mold".

Quote:I've tried this approach ... https://youtu.be/se9bF_XiFXM ... but the sail wall thickness varies because it's a manual process to adjust the inner curve.
As amfitrione already showed you that approach is waste of time since you can just use one command: Intrude. Wink
