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
2025 Butterfly Nationals at White Lake
What a great event at White Lake for the Nationals this year. We had one of the biggest turnouts in some time with 27 junior teams racing and 42 Butterfly sailboats in the open fleet. This is one of the largest and most competitive open fleets in some time. The White L:ake YC did a great job and many thanks to Chris and Liz Oertel, Ande Holly, the White Lake YC and all those involved. WE had sailors from all over the country and every fleet is seeing growth in their programs. Keep up the good work.
Love the red Butterfly sailboats!

Wow that long building Butterflies.
It seems like a short time ago,but we have been building the Butterfly sailboat since 2006. Next year will mark 20 years of building and supplying one of our favorite products the Butterfly sailboat. This is one of the original batch of boats we built. The inlay deck was quite the rage at the time and we still see those boats racing today. What an experience to say the least.
