An all-encompassing guide to roaming the world's oceans safely and self-sufficiently, World Voyage Planner is a blend of insightful historical perspective with hard-earned contemporaryadvice and information, the latter expanded by Cornell's worldwide surveys of high-seas adventurers. Lavishly illustrated with maps, pilot charts, tables and photographs, World Voyage Planner is the essential kit for both aspiring blue-water sailors, and those already underway.

World Voyage Planner fills a glaring absence among nautical books by being the only book to be written specifically on the subject of offshore voyage planning. It is thus a valuable and indispensable companion to Jimmy Cornell's other books as it enables the reader to plan, undertake and accomplish a voyage from the earliest stage of conception to its successful completion.
