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 looks of a real stunner!

We had this color and decided a complete Butterfly sailboat might look really cool. This Butterfly sailboat is really cool. I believe we won out. Good luck at WMYA Championships everyone!

2023 Butterfly Nationals was awesome!

What a great week of sailing on Crystal Lake and what an excellent event. The turnout was spectacular with 43 Butterfly sailboats in the junior division and 36 in the open division. There were seven different attending clubs at the event as well. You can not thank the Crystal Lake YC and its members enough for making this a world class event. The Butterfly sailboat world is alive vibrant and growing and we look forward to next years event at Glen Lake in 2024!

Muskegon is ready for Butterfly Nationals!!

Congrats to Muskegon Junior Sailing on the new Butterfly sailboats. We are all looking forward to seeing you all come up to sail at Crystal Lake this week. Everybody loves a bright new shiny Butterfly sailboat!

Ramp up for Butterfly Nationals

Are you ready for Butterfly Nationals at Crystal Lake starting Tuesday next week? They are getting ready to put on a great regatta and the lake should be filled with Butterfly sailboats. Matter of fact there will be Butterfly sailboats everywhere!

2023 Butterfly Nationals at Crystal Lake

We are a week and a half out from the 59th National Championship for the Butterfly sailboat class. It should an awesome week of sailing up at Crystal Lake and the turnout looks to be really good. If you are thinking of coming you can get information to enter your Butterfly sailboat at the Crystal Lake YC site or on Facebook under the National Butterfly sailboat page. Bring your Butterfly sailboat up to Crystal and have a blast! See you there.

And we run…….

To take that classic 80’s song to heart from FOS, we keep moving and bringing more Butterfly’s. We run and run and run. There is still time to get your Butterfly Sailboat for the season.

There must be ice somewhere!

A Skimmer 45 getting ready to ship with this week. It also has the fairing in the box which is super cool. So stay super cool this summer and start planning your winter sports now.
