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
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.
Are you ready for Butterfly Nationals 2024
It all starts next Tuesday up in Glen Lake Michigan. See you there.
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.
Need a Butterfly sailboat cover
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!
Butterfly sailboat wear!
Back in the day I had one of these, probably early 1980’s and I wore it out. Well we have them back again and in stock. Start your season out the right way repping the Butterfly sailboat.
The waters of Texas!
The Wrangle Regatta is only a couple of weeks away but there will be another Butterfly sailboat on the starting line for the event. It is great to see the fleet growing again down south. Good luck with the upcoming regatta and we hope you get lots of Butterfly sailboats at the event.
Nothing beats a Butterfly sailboat at the cabin!
The Butterfly sailboat is an awesome daysailor for the cottage or cabin. It rigs up super fast and with the cover over the top you can be on the water in less then five minutes. Increase you sailing time with a fast rig up and quick take down. The Butterfly sailboat does just that.
