Lavishly illustrated with maps, pilot charts, tables and photographs, World Voyage Planner is nothing less than essential kit for both aspiring blue-water sailors, and those already underway.

Herb McCormick, Cruising World

This book is not only a valuable tool for sailors planing a voyage but it should appeal also to those who are still at the dreaming stage, in spirit already roaming the oceans. Cornell weighs up the pros and cons of various routes in every ocean, whether a one-way or round trip. All this in a style that comes obviously from the pen of a professional with great personal experience. This book provides more than just knowhow: it entertains and is pure enjoyment. In one word: it makes you want to go, and this is what makes Jimmy Cornells book so special.

Uwe Janssen, Die Yacht, Germany

World Voyage Planner is a book to pick up for five minutes and put down, reluctantly, two hours later. Clear, organised, authoritative, and considerably wider in scope than the title suggests, theres probably no other sailing author writing today who could have packed so much essential voyaging information into a single volume.

Anne Hammick, Editor Flying Fish, Ocean Cruising Club

Jimmy Cornells remarkable depth of knowledge shines through in this companion to World Cruising Routes, World Cruising Destinations and Cornells Ocean Atlas. The detailed data for a vast number of voyages is enhanced by gems from many other yachtsmen who have sailed across the worlds oceans. Anyone contemplating an ocean passage will learn volumes from this compendium of invaluable information and encourage them to take that first step planning.

David Glenn, Editor, Yachting World

For my generation of cruising sailors Jimmy Cornell has been the leading star for sailors planning ocean voyages anywhere on the globe. In his latest book he tells you when and where you should sail to make your voyage safe and interesting. World Voyage Planner helps you plan your voyage, and once you have a plan, Jimmy Cornell will help you with more information and advice with his books World Cruising Routes, World Cruising Destinations and the new Cornells Ocean Atlas.

Henrich Nissen-Lie, Seilas, Norway

Whether youre planning what author Jimmy Cornell calls a circular voyage around the Caribbean, South Pacific or Med, or a linear voyage such as an Atlantic crossing or a circumnavigating of the globe, World Voyage Planner will serve as your starting point. Planning on cruising off the beaten path? Jimmys latest book includes the information that you need to plan a voyage to more remote areas of the world as well.

Barbara Theisen, Editor, Seven Seas Cruising Association

As an editor for more than 20 years, Ive received thousands of projects and met hundreds of would be circumnavigators all of whom had their own idea of the best round the world cruise but few included a plan B. A mechanical failure, a place you enjoy so much that you stay longer than expected, a geopolitic situation rapidly evolving Many are the reasons that may modify a round the world voyage. In Jimmy Cornells book, every route in every ocean and at every season has been taken into account, and hundreds of plans B are extremely well documented. This books is not only a reliable spare wheel that will assist the sailor momentarily parked by the side of the road, but will also help him quit the trade wind highway and discover secondary routes.

Jean-Luc Gourmelen, Voiles & Voiliers, France

To Janet Murphy who inspired me to write this book and who, I hope, will be the first to put it to good use when planning her future sailing adventures
