The classic is Ocean Passages of the World...
...and it reflects the classic sailing routes (along with motoring routes) from the era of commercial sailing. If your interest is an academic one, unrelated to cruising the world today in a sailboat, this reference would be a good one. If you're trying to tie together that previous era with today's yachting routes, you'll need to work off two references; Cornell's would be a commonly used one.What's missing is a book that coaches/instructs cruising sailors on how to start with the normal ('cook book') conventional wisdom on a given routing and then how to reason their way to a more suitable routing based on the climate, conditions and other considerations of THAT particular year and season. Ocean crossing guides typically lack this approach as well, perhaps because most authors are older, not out cruising very much any longer (Cornell uses a wx routing service now, as I recall, and this is his first sailing period in at least a decade or two...), and who apparently don't utilize the many free govt'l and private services available via SSB (or in some cases, SatCom).Jack
