You need to understand sails have a resin coating that seals the fabric and helps it hold shape. Mechanical washing usually ruins sails. Check the cleaning advice from a sail maker -http://www.doylesails.com/DoyleSailCare.pdf or http://www.porttownsendsails.com/pdf/sail_cleaning.pdf

And the restoration offered by outfits such as Sail Care if there's still life left but the sail is fatigued. http://www.sailcare.com But, a new sail can be cheaper for these small boats.
