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.

Race upgrades for your Butterfly sailboat
Who doesn’t love a classic new blue Butterfly!
A place to put your stuff.
We have been working on an improvement the last month or so which allows for more space in the cockpit. What happened in the end is that it allowed for us, an easier way to remove wet foam from the early boats that were built by the previous builder. In an afternoon you can remove a fair amount of foam and install this as well. It was a win for everyone.
Fall sale starting this week!
The next two weeks are the best time to order your new Buttterfly sailboat. We only offer this pricing once a year and it includes all the new cool race gear as well. Don’t miss out on it.
It’s almost Duck Season!
Summer is Still Sailing!
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.
