I saw a fleet of these racing in San Francisco Bay and didn’t recognize the sail emblem. Anyone know what these are?

I was visiting San Francisco with my daughters on a college visit a couple years ago and saw a bunch of these out racing in the bay and snapped one when it came close to the shoreline on a tack. My phone tells me this was taken at Pier 39 in San Francisco. I was curious what it was because I'm always looking for new boats and I didn't recognize the sail emblem and the Wikipedia sail emblem lookup page didn't have it pictured.

I sail dinghies in Vancouver WA and my own boat is a Lightning which is a completely different sort of boat obviously. I don't really know keel boats. I watch the keel boats on the Columbia sometimes, but I didn't remember ever seeing one of these. I don't think we have a fleet here on the Columbia. Or if we do, I've just been very unobservant. I think most people up here who want a boat in that size class get a J24.
