Description
'What Jimmy Cornell doesn't know about cruising isn't worth knowing' - Yachting World
One of the most influential cruising yachtsmen writing today, Jimmy Cornell has sailed over 200,000 miles on all the oceans of the world, including three circumnavigations and voyages to the Arctic and Antarctic. His successful guide to sailing around the world, World Cruising Routes, has helped many aspirational voyagers turn their dreams into reality and follow in his footsteps. Here in its extensively revised third edition is its partner, covering all the land-based essentials for cruisers, including new updates throughout on the long-lasting impact of climate change, Brexit and Covid.
This substantial handbook profiles every cruising destination in the world, with information on cruising attractions, history, culture, climate (including average monthly temperatures and rainfall, plus tropical storm seasons), local laws, regulations and formalities, facilities, plus public holidays and events, emergency telephone numbers, and much more. Lavishly illustrated throughout, it is not only a must-have onboard reference work for long distance sailors, but will undoubtedly inspire the adventurous to sail where they have never sailed before.

'Only Jimmy Cornell could displace the one cruising guide every cruising vessel has aboard. Without doubt the new World Cruising Destinations will find a place beside the venerable World Cruising Routes as the must have guide to world cruising. Nothing can replace experience as a teacher, and Jimmy Cornell's vast cruising experiences have made him the world's leading authority on world cruising!'
Bob Bitchin, Latitudes & Attitudes Magazine
