Custom Sail Designing and Manufacturing

I have received an exceptional amount of response from my last post. Much of it was in regard to the mention of offering custom designed sails and manufacturing. As I have done for much of the last 30 year, I am again offering custom design services not only for small sailboats, but also for sails or small craft rigs. I can design, prototype and test a sail or small craft rig. For small craft manufacturers with sufficient demand I can then arrange for manufacturing of the sail in different locations depending upon the quantity desired. This service would save the small boat company from maintaining such a specialized in house design team while at the same time producing sail designs at very high standards of quality and performance. Small sails are not usually available from the large commercial lofts at this level of quality. With my sailmaking and design experience dating back to 1970 including design and production of winning one design sails, offshore multihull sails and sailboarding sails years ahead of others then in the sport, I applied my experience to a specialization in small craft sails. I designed and produced elegant efficient sails for 23 years while owner operator of Balogh Sail Designs before I sold the company. Small craft manufactures can now have access to the fruit of that experience with designs based on a depth of experience designing and using the BSD sails and rigs. The new sails will be based on the nearly twenty additional years of experience since I produced the original designs for most of my BSD kayak and canoe sails. As has always been the case current Mark Balogh Designs will be years ahead of any of the competition. If you are interested in an advanced, unique and ground breaking sail or rig development for your small sail craft, kayak or canoe please contact me. Of course I can also develop complete small multihull designs. Thanks to all who wrote for your interest.

MBC&D news

It is beginning to look fairly certain that there will be a kit version of Wild Hare hopefully available by the spring of 2012. If it happens we will be hoping for distribution in both the US and Europe. More details as things firm up.
Work is underway on a design for a home build kayak sail rig with outriggers to be available possibly as plans or as plans and a kit. I have received serious interest in a rig with the exciting performance of Mark Balogh designs but at a price more accessible than my earlier commercial products. Please feel free to contact me with interest in or questions about this project.
I believe I now have arranged manufacturing for high quality high performance small craft sails. Anyone interested in a custom sail design produced at a very high level of quality please feel free to contact me. Please email me at mark at markbalogh dot com
