This newly updated, comprehensive cruising guide to all the world's oceans is a valuable reference for cruising sailors and armchair dreamers. More than 500 sailing routes are detailed, including 40 new routes to such high-latitude destinations as Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, and Antarctica.

The book includes 150 pages of two-color maps, updated GPS coordinates for navigation, and route-by-route descriptions of weather and hazards.

Jimmy Cornell has influenced the contemporary cruising scene more than any other sailor. His books can be found on board many cruising boats, and have been translated into several languages. Thousands of sailors have fulfilled their dreams of offshore cruising not only with the help of Jimmy Cornell's books, but also as participants in one of his transatlantic or round-the-world rallies. Jimmy Cornell is the acknowledged founder of the cruising rally concept, and over 3000 boats and 15,000 sailors have sailed in these rallies. In spite of his various activities, sailing continues to be Jimmy's overriding passion, and in the last 25 years he has sailed more than 150,000 miles in all oceans of the world.
