From the designs of Mark Balogh, we at Balogh Sail Designs originated the BSD BATWING™ sail rigs and BOSS™ outriggers for rigid kayaks, folding kayaks, and open canoes. We manufacture a full line of sailing equipment for these craft. With the versatility to install your rig on rigid kayaks and canoes as well as popular folding kayaks such as Nautiraid, Folbot and Klepper, you can use the main components of your BSD rig on more than one boat. Only BSD can offer sail rigs with such a broad range of flexibility.

BSD's original BATWING™ sails with our unique "Zippy Reef" and our patented BOSS™ outriggers are known worldwide as the finest products available. Since 1987, BSD has been the first choice for both serious expedition and recreational sailors alike. BSD rigs have been tested for thousands of miles in conditions from the Arctic to Patagonia and are in use all over the world. Expedition sailors like Verlen Kruger and Jonathan Waterman swear by their BSD rigs. The very reasons that the arctic explorer uses BSD, are why others choose them for a trip to the shore or lake. BSD builds a refined, safe, and dependable sail rig with a long pedigree. We are a company that has been around long enough to know every aspect of rig design and construction far better than any other. Accept no substitutes!
