Description
Your ultimate guide to planning a long-distance voyage. Jimmy Cornell is the undisputed authority on long distance voyaging. In the 4th edition of this book, he and his son Ivan help the would-be voyager plan their trip step by step. Aimed at those seriously contemplating (or dreaming about) an extended cruise, this book details what is involved in developing the right strategy. Amongst many important aspects, Jimmy and Ivan consider:
- World weather systems
- Strategies for sailing long or short circuits in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans
- The pros and cons of different routes at different times of year (taking into account weather, currents, wind directions and strengths, likelihood of fog, icebergs, gales, piracy etc)
- Practicalities (repair facilities, common gear breakage on extended voyages, places to leave the boat to fly home if necessary, health considerations, provisioning for a long trip, personal safety measures, and much more)
Written from a completely international point of view, World Voyage Planner will help sailors from any country going to any other country to achieve a safe and enjoyable cruise.

An all-encompassing guide to roaming the world's oceans safely and self-sufficiently, World Voyage Planner is a blend of insightful historical perspective with hard-earned contemporaryadvice and information, the latter expanded by Cornell's worldwide surveys of high-seas adventurers. Lavishly illustrated with maps, pilot charts, tables and photographs, World Voyage Planner is the essential kit for both aspiring blue-water sailors, and those already underway.
Cruising World, USA
-
World Voyage Planner fills a glaring absence among nautical books by being the only book to be written specifically on the subject of offshore voyage planning. It is thus a valuable and indispensable companion to Jimmy Cornell's other books as it enables the reader to plan, undertake and accomplish a voyage from the earliest stage of conception to its successful completion.
