Jimmy Cornell is the undisputed authority on long distance voyaging. In the new 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 an extended cruise (and those dreaming about
the possibility), this book will give an idea of 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, etc)
The pros and cons, attractions and dangers of different routes (such as the problem of piracy)
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)
Jimmy's top ten list of common things that ruin a voyage

Written from a completely international point of view, World Voyage Planner can help
sailors from any country going to any other country to achieve a safe and enjoyable
cruise.
