Description
World Cruising Routes is an internationally recognized standard work for long-distance sailors planning voyages over large areas of ocean. Written by Jimmy Cornell, the book draws on decades of experience in global sailing and route planning. The eighth edition presents over 1,000 recommended sailing routes in all the world’s oceans, focusing on optimal sailing windows, weather patterns, trade winds, monsoons and currents. Each route is explained in terms of season, risks, distances and practicalities, providing a solid decision-making basis for safe and efficient long-distance sailing. The book serves as an indispensable planning tool for both first-time ocean cruisers and experienced sailors, and is a natural complement to World Cruising Destinations and World Voyage Planner.
