Letters on most sails are vinyl. Sign shop could cut some to apply. Wouldn't do the whole sail.

They are probably, more than likely, quite possibly, made of dacron. You may be able to have them dyed a color. I would contact a sail maker and go from there.

I saw a video of some french ladies doing beautiful art work on some sail cloth , it was amazing.....They used a paint that didn't wick long the thread but stayed right where the paint brush laid it.
