A nautical flea market docked near Port Nelson on Sunday for boaties to sell their nautical-related wares and hoist funds for Sailability Nelson, which offers sailing outings for people with disabilities every second Sunday from Nelson Yacht Club.
Event organiser and Sailability Nelson volunteer, Roland Goos, says $520 was raised from the 18 stallholder donations to book their space, and the money would help fund new Sailability gear.
“Everyone who goes sailing knows that things break all the time and fixes are needed… and maybe a new boat one day,” he says.
“I decided to do a flea market for all the boaties because there’s 600 boats in [Nelson Marina], so I thought that all the boaties would have something to sell that’s from their garage.”
