Adam and Luke, the owners of the catamaran Chequers, are planning a series of offshore passages across the Pacific.

The crew is transitioning from a monohull to a catamaran and intends to document both sailing and DIY maintenance projects as they prepare the boat for long-term travel.3:39 They are currently addressing concerns regarding their Highfield dinghy, which they plan to store on deck rather than on the davits during offshore passages to prevent interference with the Hydrovane and to mitigate the risk of swamping in heavy seas.6:56 Future long-term plans include sailing north along the Great Barrier Reef toward Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines.5:58
