WSA vlet Patrol Boat now in online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. WSA vlet patrol boat (1961) "Don Pancho" - sturdy steel ship with character and versatile use The WSA vlet "Don Pancho" is a distinctive steel ship with a history as a German patrol vessel, later used as a pleasure yacht. You can see that history in its appearance and construction: a robust chine hull, a practical layout, and a size that stands out without becoming unwieldy. With a length of 14.90 meters, a width of 3.05 meters, and a draft of approximately 0.90 meters, this patrol boat feels at home in various sailing areas, from inland waters and rivers to lakes, ponds, and - with the right planning and conditions - even open water. The headroom of about 2.80 meters also makes many routes accessible, while the standing height inside of approximately 1.85 meters keeps the onboard stay comfortable. WSA vlet Patrol Boat now in online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. History and appearance: former workboat For those looking for a ship with a story, it can be found here. Don Pancho began its life as a patrol boat and still carries those rugged, functional lines. The result is a vessel that has a presence on the water: a real eye-catcher with a workboat-like appearance, but with amenities suitable for leisure boating, weekend trips, and vacations. This type of steel vlet appeals to buyers who not only want a boat but also an experience: setting course, space to entertain guests, and the feeling of control and mass that you experience with a heavier ship. Hull, dimensions, and sailing characteristics The steel chine hull is designed for stability and straight-line behavior. With a stated weight of approximately 15,000 kg, Don Pancho sits calmly in the water, which is pleasant in changing conditions and when sailing with company on board. Steering is done with a wheel from an inside helm, providing shelter in inclement weather and making the ship suitable for longer voyages. Thanks to its dimensions and hull shape, this is a ship suitable for leisurely cruising but also for targeted use as a work or service boat, depending on the new owner's preferences. Engine and performance: MWM diesel with suitable power Propulsion comes from an MWM TD20 diesel engine (built in 1984), a 6-cylinder inboard with electric start and a power of 120 hp. This power suits the character of the ship: enough strength to maneuver smoothly and sail comfortably, with a cruising speed of around 12 km/h and a top speed of around 19 km/h. The stated consumption of approximately 4 liters per hour makes longer trips easily manageable. With a diesel tank of about 400 liters, the range is ample, making Don Pancho attractive for multi-day voyages and longer journeys on rivers and canals. Onboard, the essential gauges are present, including an oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer, allowing you to keep a close eye on the engine's condition while sailing. Comfort and onboard living: sleeping, heating, and cooking Inside, Don Pancho offers fixed sleeping accommodations for 2 people and additional sleeping options for 4, making the ship suitable for couples, families, or a weekend getaway with friends. The hot air heating extends the boating season and makes overnight stays in the early and late seasons more appealing. For daily necessities, there is a galley with a 3-burner gas stove and a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, making life on board practical during vacations or longer stays. The toilet is manual; the discharge goes directly into open water, something to consider depending on the sailing area and local regulations. The water tank has a capacity of approximately 210 liters, which, combined with the onboard hot water boiler, contributes to the comfort on board. Electrical installation and power supply: 24V/220V with inverter and solar panels The electrical equipment is set up for independent use. Don Pancho has shore power, a battery charger, alternator, voltmeter, and a 3000W inverter, providing 220V on board alongside the 24V system. There are a total of 8 batteries, including 2x 180Ah (2020) and 6x 110Ah (2023). The solar panels with a total capacity of approximately 740Wp support the energy management, which is convenient when anchoring or mooring in places without fixed power connections. For basic navigation, a depth sounder is available, suitable for sailing in varying depths in lakes, rivers, and canals. Deck equipment and outdoor living: cockpit, cockpit tent, and practical details Outside, the ship is set up for spending time on deck. The aft cockpit is equipped with outdoor cushions and a cockpit table, and with the cockpit tent, you can create shelter against wind or rain, enhancing comfort during longer days on board. A swim ladder makes it easy to swim or get back on board after a dinghy trip. Additionally, fenders and lines are present. For anchoring, there is one anchor with chain and a manual anchor windlass. The electric bilge pump contributes to basic safety and ease of use. Maintenance and recent work The ship was last out of the water for maintenance in 2024, and antifouling was applied in the same year. Maintenance invoices are available, providing insight into the work carried out and maintenance choices over the years. Don Pancho is thus a characterful WSA vlet patrol boat for buyers seeking a rugged steel ship with history, practical equipment, and a sailing experience that sets it apart from ordinary motor yachts. Viewing is the best way to see how the space, appearance, and possibilities come together for leisure boating, weekend trips, or a more functional use on the water.
