They were cut up and used to make the wings, but the world they crash landed on does not have the natural resources to reproduce the wings.

For long flights they mention taking nuts and water. In addition if you keep in mind the fears from potential attacks from the air {in case they decide to carry arms}. They can carry packages, for example when they carried the child to safety or even when they bury at sea, by first carrying the body of the dead, before dropping it.
As for the material of the sail, I assume they had cutting tools that were lost over time.(less)
