The current owners purchased Dannebrog in Thailand with the intention of relocating it to Langkawi. In preparation for the voyage the following upgrades were completed.

• Original 450mm propellor was upgraded to 770mm – resulting in greater fuel economy at slow revs.
• Windlass was added and new 52kg Stainless Steel Anchor, 10mm chain and rope
• Ballast was originally 500 clay bricks, these were removed and 1000kg of sandbags (triple bagged) were used. Most are in the bow with others at the stern above the propeller shaft.
• A stability test was completed after the addition of the extra ballast. The result showed that approx.. 19.5 people at average 90 kg each could be on one side of the top deck before exceeding the safety limit. The vessel is registered for 12 people.
• The black water system was upgraded to make it relatively foolproof. An additional pump was added to service the two black water tanks. Switching is installed to prepare for either pump out or open valve.
• A swim and safety ladder was installed to the stern allowing access from the water to the salon deck.
• A large compass was purchased for the helm station – not permanently installed but can be if required
• A Garmin FF550 Depth Sounder and GPS Chart Plotter was fitted. This model connects to AIS (not fitted). • The rudder and controls were refurbished

On arrival in Langkawi a number of upgrades and maintenance tasks were undertaken to complete the refurbishment.

• All 102 small downlights and some of the cupboard downlights were changed to LED’s.

• Stair Lights were changed to blue LED’s

• The Beef Eater gas BBQ was upgraded to have piped LPG from the cylinder storage

• The teak deck on and around the bow was removed and reworked in fibreglass. This saves on future maintenance.

• All the hardware on the concertina glass doors were changed

• Most of the hinges on the galley doors and some cupboard doors were upgraded.

• A water filter system was added at the dock, to filter dock water before it enters the boat. • A quick switch-over system was added to the water filter in the engine room. The main filter is a “whole house” filter, but this can be changed to a 5 micron local filter for changeover or cleaning access.

• The brightwork – rails, entry deck, stairs were sanded and changed to teak oil finish to save on future maintenance (more often but quicker ad no sanding )
