Vessel

Indiscretion is a 2009 Nordhavn 43  trawler (Hull #39).  She is a full-displacement yacht constructed to withstand blue water voyaging.  Indiscretion has two helm stations: a dedicated pilothouse and an open flybridge.

A three-foot custom swim platform was added to the boat in 2015, along with a hardtop cover over the flybridge helm station.

Indiscretion is powered by a Lugger 1066T 165 HP diesel engine which pushes the boat along at about 7 knots at her normal cruising speed and burns just over 2 gallons per hour.  With over 1,300 gallons of fuel, she could travel from Seattle to Hawaii without refueling.  She also has a backup Yanmar 3YM “wing” engine with its own fuel tank and propeller shaft in case the main engine breaks down.

Systems that make long-distance voyaging quite comfortable include active fin stabilizers, a 12KW generator, diesel hydronic heating system, air conditioning throughout the vessel, a washer/dryer,  a  watermaker, and ample cold food storage.

Sleeping accommodations include a master stateroom and guest stateroom, each with their own private head, as well as a single “watch” berth in the pilothouse.
