World Cruising Routes, 9th Ed.

Described as the ultimate reference for cruising sailors, World Cruising Routes is an essential resource for long-distance navigators.

This fully revised and updated edition incorporates the latest weather data and developments, offering comprehensive guidance for planning safe voyages anywhere in the world.

Featuring over 1,000 sailing routes across all oceans—from tropical regions to the Arctic and Antarctic—it provides vital information on winds, currents, regional and seasonal weather, and the best times for individual passages. Updated to address recent global weather changes, this ninth edition also evaluates the impact of climate change on sailing routes and includes over 6,000 waypoints to aid voyage planning.

Much of the book's content comes from the author's extensive experience, including three circumnavigations and voyages to Antarctica and the Northwest Passage. As a one-stop resource for planning worldwide voyages, it complements World Voyage Planner, which offers advice on long-distance voyaging, and World Cruising Destinations, which provides practical details about maritime nations and their cruising highlights.
