Lying on her mooring in Noank, September 2007
Update: The Friendship Sloop Lisa K. has been sold as of June 2009....
She now operates out of Boston Harbor as the "Tupelo Honey." I'm happy to wish her new owners and crew the best of luck in their endeavor and now even more people can enjoy sailing aboard this wonderful vessel (Link to: Tuplelo Honey).
If you are interested in purchasing a vessel nearly identical to the Lisa K., please call Captain Joe Hliva, who is now seeking a buyer for his 31-foot Newman Dictator Friendship Sloop "Netanya," (not commercially certified). Please contact Joe at 203-637-7787 or visit the Netanya Website at http://friendshipsloopnetanyaforsale.shutterfly.com/.

The Sloop Lisa K. (FSS #208) is a Coast Guard Certified Small Passenger Carrying Vessel licensed under 46 CFR Subchapter T. As such, her hull was constructed with fire-retardent resin under Coast Guard supervision. Licensed for 12 passengers and 2 crew, she has a 44 HP Westerbeke diesel (installed new in 2000 and professionally maintained since). All systems are in excellent working order with new mast (2003), new standing rigging (2003), new headsails (2006), and fresh paint and varnish on deck, cabin, railings, hatches, etc. She has received constant upgrade and maintenance under the last two owners. The vessel is now stored indoors for the winter and can be viewed by appointment in Madison, CT.

| Owner's Comments The general condition of Lisa K is very good. The vessel turns heads and is a constant source of pride. Lisa K was sailing as a captained charter vessel in Maine and the Caribbean until 2000 when this owner purchased her for use as a private yacht. Although not used commercially, she has been consistently licensed and inspected every season and is currently qualified to carry passengers. Thus, this is an opportunity to start a business. |
| Comments Lisa K is one of the Dictator-class Friendship sloops built by Jarvis Newman, Inc., of Southwest Harbor, Maine. Mr. Newman owned and restored the Friendship sloop DICTATOR, took the lines off her hull, and began molding hulls in fiberglass. This particular hull was finished by Bruce Lanning in Winter Harbor, Maine. The Dictators have proven to be fast and comfortable with very pleasing lines. I shall be pleased to furnish additional information and to arrange for inspection. |
