We have several beautiful and very well-maintained boats for sale. And best of all, if you keep your boat in our fleet, you will still get to use your boat as much as you want, you will get a substantial reduction on the sale price, no sales tax, as well as peace of mind knowing that Windworks will take care of the details of boat ownership for you! Or, take one of these fine boats to your private dock. Windworks is the Catalina Yachts Dealer for Pacific Northwest

Our two 27-foot Sport Catalinas are nearly full for the first Elliott Bay Downtown Sailing Series set to launch June 4 - and we thank you for that! But we have more seats to offer every Thursday in June, July and the first Thursday in August.

Club members and non-members are welcome to join the fun and buy a single seat or buy the full boat and enjoy one of Seattle's biggest sailing events this summer.

This is the best way to get on the water without knowing anybody!
Views of the Seattle skyline in summer: priceless!

Both of our Catalina 275’s, Wicked and Magic Wind, will take 6 crew and 1 captain out for a fun, casual race, then return to the marina to socialize with food, drinks, and live music!

Not a racer? Not a problem! Not an experienced sailor? Not a problem!

These Downtown Sailing events are more about learning and having fun in a relaxed racing environment. Our captains will give you as much responsibility as you want. Departure and return take place at the Elliott Bay Marina.

Meet your destiny on the winds and discover a new passion!

Certified. Vetted. Ready.
A massive congratulations to our newest US Sailing Basic Keelboat Instructors! These Captains didn't just pass a test—they survived a rigorous vetting process in the "classroom" of the Puget Sound. Under the expert eye of Instructor Trainer Captain Eric Jonsen, they demonstrated the elite standards required by the organization that governs the US Sailing Team .

We are honored to have such a high caliber of leadership joining the Windworks teaching staff. Congratulations, Captains! We'll see you at the helm.

8 Foot Swells, 25-Knot Winds, and 22 Foot Boat! 🌊🌬️
Meet Captains Dave, Justin, David, and Paul—the next US Sailing Basic Keelboat Instructors at Windworks out for the final practice sail.

This weekend, these four are stepping into the "hot seat" at Shilshole Bay Marina to earn their official stripes. Under the watchful eye of US Sailing Instructor Trainer Eric Jonsen, they’ll be proving they can handle the pressure when the Puget Sound kicks up.
The Gauntlet:
⚓ Docking Under Sail: No engine, no room for error.
⚓ Single-Handed Mastery: Demonstrating solo reefing and precision Crew Overboard (COB) maneuvers.
⚓ Leadership at the Helm: Showing they can teach as well as they sail, even when the spray is flying!
Wish them "Fair Winds" as they battle the elements to become your next mentors on the water!
