THE 3RD EDITION OF THIS BOOK WAS MY DAILY COMPANION
By ATUANRO4XNOMY on 1999-06-09
I did a 4 year circumnavigation on my yacht (a 34 foot steel sloop)and jimmy Cornel "world cruising routes (3rd edition)" was my daily companion. It helped me a great lot to plan cruises and ocean passages. It allowed me to choose the right sailing areas at the right time. Furthemore, whoever is interested in climatology, weather, currents, oceanography will find a wealth of information in this book. The dreamer as well as the sailer will definitely have a good buy with this book.
Great Map
By on 1999-12-11
If you are looking for an excellent road map of the oceans and plan on traveling soon this is a good read.If you are looking for adventure in a book, great descriptions of countries, islands visited this is not what you want to buy. I would not consider this a great travel guide.
World Cruising Routes

An absolute necessity for any small yacht going to sea. It is logically compiled and written. Jimmy Cornell has written a book that is exactly what every sailor needs...guidance in getting from port a to port b efficiently, safely, and with the best possible winds and weather.
Not for the armchair cruiser
By AT2O4ZW390JCV on 2001-06-20
I would someday like to cruise around the world, and I bought this book in the hopes of learning more about the possible routes so that I could make some preliminary plans. I'm sure it will come in handy in a few years, but for now, it's overwhelming.I think this information would be best presented as an interactive CD-ROM. Click on a starting point, click on several destinations, and the software tells you when you should start the trip, how long it would take, whether you need to alter the route, etc. If someone knows of such a program, please pass along the info.
World Cruising Routes
By A36Y1JDYVD28G6 on 2007-07-26
When planning a circumnavigation one has three choices: 1) Do not plan and accept the extreme dangers of circumnavigation; 2) take a year or more and plan using all available nautical publications, charts, electronic navigation systems; and 3) read and use the outstanding information provided in "World Cruising Routes." This publication will save you time and more important provide excellent tips for short and long passages across the oceans of the world. Cornell has taken the time to consolidate information and plot the important way-points for us.
The most important advice given is the timing of transits. Cornell identifies the risks and the pleasures of circumnavition and avoiding weather disasters. Thanks to Mr. Cornell, sailors who venture forth on the oceans will be safer and more comfortable at sea.
