World Cruising Routes: Fifth Edition

The Fifth Edition of Jimmy Cornell's World Cruising Routes provides a great foundation for planning your cruises (or just dreaming about them). Jimmy guides you through an overview of what are considered prevailing winds and currents for various passages around the world, then goes on to suggest specific routes...including waypoint coordinates. Thinking about a two-, three-, or four-year circumnavigation? You'll find plenty of help for when and where to go. Whether you intend to sail from Mexico to the South Pacific, from Europe to the Caribbean, or even to Antarctica, you will find a treasure trove of information in World Cruising Routes.

If you are a regular at SetSail, you know that we feel all generalizations about weather and routing have to be taken with a grain of salt - weather is just too variable to be wrapped up in a neat package. However, all dreams need a beginning, and the Fifth Edition of Jimmy Cornell's World Cruising Routes is an excellent way to start the planning process...which is why it has been a best-seller for over a decade.
