They are probably Hotsails which are good sails IMO ....

I'd agree. I sailed these (3.2 to 4.7) when at Lake Arenal last spring. If
they are the Hots, they are quite tuneable, seemed well made and sailed
quite light. They liked the skinnies and carbon booms as well ;-) Not
quite as grunty as my Northwaves, but grunt is a matter of taste. Didn't
take long to get used to them.

MHO, of course. The warm air, warm fresh water, wide open lake and 40 knot
winds had nothing to do with it ;-)

I hate to bum you all you HOT fans out, but Realwind does (or did)
have their own brand of
sails. I'm not sure who the designer was (could have been Jeff
Henderson),
but they didn't look much like HOT sails.

I think Realwind sails were designed and manufacturerd by Hot Sails for
a few years.
The name RealHot kind of gives it away...

Are those the sails on sale?

Yeah kinda guessed they were the RealHots, I prefer the S.O's but I
hear the Real Hots are good sails for B&J, I am pretty sure they are
designed by Jeffrey Henderson with input from RealWind.
