Support Our Mission

Restoring a historic 82-foot riveted steel ship is a huge task – one that requires not only time, skill, and determination, but also financial resources. Flying Coney has already come a long way, but there’s still much to do.

If you’d like to help bring this extraordinary ship back to life, here are some of the most impactful ways to support our work:


1. Financial Support (Our Biggest Need)

We rely heavily on financial contributions to keep the restoration going. Your donation helps us cover essential expenses like materials, tools, welding gas, and replacement steel. Every euro brings Flying Coney one step closer to sailing again.

  • Adopt a Frame – Become part of the ship’s very structure by sponsoring the repair of a frame. This stage is one of the most critical and most expensive in the restoration, and your support makes it possible.
  • Patreon – Support us monthly and join our community. Patrons receive real-time updates, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and regular online crew meetings.
  • PayPal – Perfect for one-time donations in any amount. Every contribution, big or small, is deeply appreciated and makes a real difference.


2. Wishlist coming soon

We’re putting together a regularly updated wishlist with the tools, supplies, and equipment we currently need for Flying Coney’s restoration. Supporting us this way is one of the most tangible forms of help — you’ll know exactly what your contribution is going toward.

3. Other Ways to Help

Not every contribution has to be financial — there are many meaningful ways you can support Flying Coney’s journey:

  • Spread the word: Share our videos with friends, family, or fellow boat lovers to help grow our community.
  • Offer your expertise or time: If you have skills or knowledge that could help with the restoration, we’d love to hear from you.
  • Collaborate with us: We’re always open to working with companies or organizations who share our passion for maritime heritage.

Every bit of support, in whatever form it takes, helps bring Flying Coney closer to sailing again.
