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
Today it’s box with lid
A special box made for Skeeter iceboat sails. The split lid and long length allow for the massive iceboats sails to fit in without being folded. Now hit the ice.
Box and ship
It has been an exciting few weeks as we continue to build up supplies of Skimmer 45 iceboats and parts. The new iceboats have been flying out the door and we have been working hard on refining the process so your new skimmer arrives in pristine condition. We have started a second batch of iceboats as well as the orders continue to come in. We will hopefully be having a Skimmer 45 iceboat event in the next month or so when we get the right ice conditions. Keep skimming if you have ice!
The Ultimate Iceboat
Are you looking for the ultimate winter sport? Look no further then the Skimmer 45 Iceboat. It packs up easy, no building required, be on the ice in under 15 minutes. This can be shipped anywhere and fits in an average sized car. You can sail it, your friends and your family as well.
Gifts for the Holidays!
It’s not too late to get a Barnett 1400 or Butterfly for the holidays. What a way to start out next summer then with a new sailboat for everyone to use. This is the ultimate family gift!
Wax on wax off!
Getting ready to start the build process on our next projects!
Big Blue!
Did you know that the second choice for most Butterfly’s that are ordered is blue? Yes blue is the color of choice it might be our standard blue, light blue or even ice blue. But it is indeed blue which is the big color.
