Your craftsmanship is apparently well beyond the ordinary. Gorgeous stuff in the pix. You can build the boat, without question. The sloop with the ungainly boom is not for the faint of heart. I shudder when I imagine jibing that thing. A fine looking boat but the rig ...........? Give it a ketch or yawl rig and live longer, less strenuously, and far more easily balanced for all weather.

As for the cost of sails, it will be helpful if you can manage to win the lottery.

Sails... Living in a place where boatbuilding is seasonal work it's possible to take the needle and Emiliano Marino's Sailmakers Apprentice opened and wait for warmer weather while working with sail(bags)
