Carbon fibre sails as radar reflectors

I was wondering whether a carbon fibre sail would act as a radar reflector as carbon shares many of the same properties as metals.

It may help a bit, but the shape of the wing would bounce the signal in all sorts of directions so I wouldn't rely on it.

Probably not, carbon tends to absorb radar.
This was noticed speed trapping motorbikes with carbon fairings.
Stealth bombers have a lot of carbon in.
To be fair, it's a complex subject!
