I've got a rather large sailing ship that needs its, well, sails. But since I don't have flight enabled, has anyone built something similar? What techniques do you use to be able to build such a grandiose project without constantly running back and forth from the distant view, then back to the build?

the easiest way I can think of is to form the outline of the shape you want, then build inside that outline for the rest
for the sails, I would form the curve on the outside edge, then extend sideways to the other edge on the other side of the ship

Makes sense. I was gonna go for triangular sails for this thing, since they were the most efficient at the time. My idea for this build is that it's a dry dock used for ship repairs, and this is the one ship that's WAY overdue for a retrofit.
Second vessel in the dock for a repaint is gonna look like this.
But I guess for triangular sails, I can always try to build the wooden poles themselves, and just build it up layer-by-layer using the wooden pole as a supporting strut.

Eyy, thanks man! It looks great using that technique.
Different shape sail, but I followed the curvature of how the wind would catch it.
