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
By a nose or a bow!
If your scow is looking a little ragged up in the bow, or perhaps maybe your best friend decided to hammer you on the starting line we can fix that. There has been lots of gelcoat being sprayed to many bows the last few weeks as it seems there were quite a few people staring at electric gizmos and not being heads up. Regardless we can fix it and make it look new. Give us a call we do complete repair.
The last week to get your color!
In a week we shift over to building strictly white hull and deck Butterfly sailboats for the remainder of the 2026 delivery year. So if you are thinking about getting yourself a colored deck you better order now. We won’t be doing the colored decks until we start the next model run. However you will be able to get a white Butterfly and they will be in stock.
The 13 foot skiff
Most of the other skiffs we have our longer boats this one is our first shorter version. The design is pretty neat as it has a recurved bottom with hard chines which makes it really stable. The hull deck seam is all glassed in so you have no leaking ever. The beam is very wide so you have lots of room.
Rudder week at the boatworks
Tricked out is that a 1400 plus?
We celebrate 30 years of scows and boat building!
In our wildest dreams we never really thought that we would build all the projects that we have. It has been quite the adventure to say the least. It has ranged from three different scow classes to the Butterfly and in between. We have built training boats, life boats and many wild things as well. Here is to the next adventure.

Be an original!
Can you believe that the first Inland 20 Nationals was 27 years ago up on Castle Rock Lake. Boy were we all a lot younger. Good times they were.
