Yahoo sails
Notice how matter-of-fact Gulliver is in describing that his sails are made of the skins of Yahoos:
"I made use of the youngest I could get, the older being too tough and
thick . . ." What does this say about Gulliver? What is Swift trying to
say?

That disturbed me a bit. But I believe that they hated the Yahoos so much that they didn't consider them any more than what we would consider a cow for it's skin for leather.
