Your ultimate guide to planning a long-distance voyage. Jimmy
Cornell is the undisputed authority on long distance voyaging. In
the 3rd 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.
