'What Jimmy Cornell doesn't know about cruising isn't worth
knowing' - Yachting World One of the most influential cruising
yachtsmen writing today, Jimmy Cornell has sailed over 200,000
miles on all the oceans of the world, including three
circumnavigations and voyages to the Arctic and Antarctic. His
successful guide to sailing around the world, World Cruising
Routes, has helped many aspirational voyagers turn their dreams
into reality and follow in his footsteps. Here in its extensively
revised third edition is its partner, covering all the land-based
essentials for cruisers, including new updates throughout on the
long-lasting impact of climate change, Brexit and Covid. This
substantial handbook profiles every cruising destination in the
world, with information on cruising attractions, history, culture,
climate (including average monthly temperatures and rainfall, plus
tropical storm seasons), local laws, regulations and formalities,
facilities, plus public holidays and events, emergency telephone
numbers, and much more. Lavishly illustrated throughout, it is not
only a must-have onboard reference work for long distance sailors,
but will undoubtedly inspire the adventurous to sail where they
have never sailed before.
