Anyone recognize this sailmaker's logo?

This is the tack of my 130 genoa. Anybody know who the sailmaker might be? I don't know the vintage, could be anywhere between 1979 and 2010, late 90s most likely.

Is there a red triangle on the other side?

No.

I posted this question a few years ago. I have a red triangle in the same area on my old genoa. I can't remember what it is but it's not a logo IIRC.

We have a similar symbol, but it is a red triangle with the field in orange. We hang it on the tractor or hay wagon as a "Caution: slow moving farm vehicle" warning. Since this symbol is on a sailboat and since it is a green triangle it probably means "Caution: fast moving sailboat".

Ain't that a knee slapper? Sorry, just a bit of farm humor. The new owners took our boat away a week ago, and I think I am in mourning!

I believe it is a Hard Sail.They had an interesting T-Shirt back several years ago. Motto was sail with a Hard On.

Yep, Hard Sails... Red was in the late 70's .. maybe early 80's then green triangle?
Maybe they were acquired by a new owner who liked green!

with a t-shirt that said A HARD man was good to find. The A was the sail logo. The t-shirt was banned by several club.

Thanks all. Apparently, according to Wikipedia, Hard Sails under Wally Ross was a pioneer in building sails from Dacron:

Wally Ross purchased Hard Sails, Inc. in 1954 from a friend, William Hard. Ross had been an account executive at a local Long Island radio station and Hard Sails was one of his accounts. Hard Sails, Inc. was based in Islip, Long Island. Ross’s subsequent success at sailmaking came during the exploding yachting boom during the early 1960s when, coincidentally, synthetic materials were first available for the crafting of sails. Ross’s work in Dacron gave his staff a medium that held its shape, allowing for the application of aerodynamic theory to sailing. A material holding shape also allowed for relative mass production, especially when compared to the older, individual sailmaking techniques using Egyptian cotton. By the mid-1960s, Hard Sails was using a new device – the computer – to accelerate the design process, laying the foundations for Gentry’s work between 1969 and 1971. Ross’s seminal work, Sail Power, was the intellectual capstone of the previous decade’s intellectualization of sail.
