Preserving old cotton sails

There’s a query on the forum that I can’t begin to answer, but someone might know the best approach.

Our correspondent has bought an old Enterprise dinghy dating back to 1957, and it has arrived with cotton sails. Is there anything he can spray on them to protect them without staining?

If you know the answer to this, please go to the forum – there’s a link in the sidebar to the right of this page!
