What your support makes possible

Model Boats Website is built on years of forum threads, build blogs, club and lake listings, events, and harbour pages from members like you. Membership fees and donations are what keep that archive online, the apps updated, and the servers running.

Staying online

Domain registration, HTTPS certificates, hosting, and bandwidth so the site stays fast and reachable.

Apps & access

Costs tied to the iOS and Android apps and the infrastructure behind them.

Safety & backups

Security measures and backups so data and accounts are protected.

Day-to-day care

Ongoing maintenance, fixes, and administration — the unglamorous work behind the scenes.

Every contribution helps. If something isn’t clear, get in touch via Support. Our terms of service describe how memberships and payments work.
