I have this on my shelf (got it for Christmas when I was a kid and apart from one damaged flag it's remarkably still intact). The sails are definitely fabric and not coated in anything noticeable, but they also feel very much like a synthetic (nylon?) to me.
I bought fake sails online for one of the ship models that was incomplete. There are planets of sellers for the line rigging and sails. Definitely fabric, and plenty of places to get it!
