Plan the Ultimate Ocean Voyage

A step-by-step guide to route planning, weather systems, provisioning, and essential strategies for long-distance sailing.

World Voyage Planner: Planning a Voyage from Anywhere in the World to Anywhere in the World is the ultimate guide for anyone considering a long-distance voyage. Jimmy Cornell, the undisputed authority on long-distance voyaging, teams up with his son Ivan to provide a comprehensive step-by-step approach to planning an extended cruise.

Aimed at both serious voyagers and dreamers alike, this book details everything involved in developing the right strategy. The authors 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, considering weather, currents, wind directions and strengths, and risks such as fog, icebergs, gales, and piracy
  • Practicalities such as repair facilities, common gear breakages, options for leaving the boat to fly home, health considerations, provisioning, personal safety, and more

Written from an international perspective, World Voyage Planner helps sailors from any country plan safe and enjoyable voyages to destinations around the world.

About the Authors

Jimmy Cornell has influenced the contemporary cruising scene more than any other sailor. An accomplished sailor, public speaker, and author, he has sailed over 200,000 miles across all the world's oceans, including three circumnavigations and voyages to Antarctica and the Northwest Passage. Thousands of sailors have fulfilled their dream of blue water cruising with the help of his books, including the bestselling World Cruising Routes, one of the most popular nautical publications worldwide.

Ivan Cornell spent most of his childhood at sea, completing his first circumnavigation by the age of 11. As an adult, he has sailed thousands of miles as crew or skipper on a variety of boats in all oceans, including two voyages to Antarctica.
