I bought a set to replace the stock sails on my Hobie 18 this year and I am pretty happy with them. In my opinion the price is great and the sails seem to be decent quality. I haven't found anything about them I don't like yet.

Interesting that they seem to add the "H" logo, class insignia and sail numbers... they would not be class legal for racing, so it seems a bit misleading. Actually... the logo itself may be a tradmark infraction.

The sails actually don't come with the "H", class insignia or sail number, they told me this up front. And I asked if they were class-legal and they said no. They never really made any attempt to make me think that they were Hobie sails, Hobie endorsed, class-legal or otherwise. I knew what I was buying...inexpensive sails. I asked if they could add the "H" on like on like in the picture and said they could (they have a vinyl cutting machine I guess?). I wanted it just because I love my boat and so that there to be no mistaking what I am sailing when others see it.

FYI: I don't work for the company or know anyone that is associated with them, I just really like the sails for the price I paid.
