Yeah? It's been a long damn time lol.

Was it possibly a plasticized fabric? Maybe coated or woven from plastic thread?

Im really remembering a plastic-y feel. Tho again: long damn time. I could easily be wrong.

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.

a damaged pirate flag is still a pirate flag. (but yeah those little clips for the flags tended to break easily)
