WINDWARD BOATWORKS

Windward Boatworks is your complete source for Butterfly Sailboats & Parts. We have been building Butterfly sailboats since 2006.  Butterfly sailboats are large enough to accommodate several people, fast enough for serious competition, light enough for launching by one person, and virtually maintenance free. The Butterfly has a strong National Organization and holds annual National Championship regattas. From a cottage boat to serious one-design racer – the Butterfly does it all.

What’s New with Windward Boatworks and Butterfly Sailboats

Fall sale starting this week!

The next two weeks are the best time to order your new Buttterfly sailboat. We only offer this pricing once a year and it includes all the new cool race gear as well. Don’t miss out on it.

The state of the Butterfly class is strong!

What an exceptional regatta up at Glen Lake Michigan. We had 62 Butterflies racing with 40 in the junior fleet alone. That tallies to some 80 kids sailing at least. Some of our strongest clubs had conflicts with the Mac race and were unable to attend but everyone else just showed up. This shows most all of our clubs are very strong and are turning out the next generation of sailors and scow sailors. A long time WMYA member commented that, the Butterfly class is creating the future of scow sailing in Michigan if not the country, keep up the good work. So yes the Butterfly class is strong and yes it is growing. See you in White Lake next at the WMYA.

See you at Butterfly Nationals in Glen

We are loading up and leaving town as the 2024 Butterfly Nationals start in Glen Lake this Tuesday. We will have trucks on the road and support at the regatta, so give us a few days until we get back from the event. It should be fun as we have close to 60 Butterflys registered.

Butterfly sailboats, Butterfly sailboats everywhere!

Leland is super excited to get their new Butterfly sailboats out on the water this week. They have a super program of sailing instruction and really support the local sailing scene. We will see them at the Butterfly Nationals at Glen Lake this summer.

Butterfly sailboats in the woods!

There are some really great places we deliver Butterfly sailboats to. Be it the beach, the woods, or the lake right around the corner we can get your new boat there.

Butterfly sailboats, Butterfly sailboats at Torch Lake!!!

This is super exciting to see the Torch Lake Butterfly racing fleet grow by three more Butterfly sailboats. What a great thing to happen for their home lake fleet and it should help jump start getting more people racing and sailing Butterfly sailboats this season. Way to go Torch Lake!
