The fast way is to create a mold/shape (something you already did) and select the faces to be used and apply the Shell Extrude command - moving the mouse to set a small thick to your sail. When you finish the command a new object will be created and you can delete or hide the "mold".

As amfitrione already showed you that approach is waste of time since you can just use one command: Intrude.
