In recent years, the global weather conditions have seen major changes especially in the location, frequency, strength and extra-seasonal occurrence of tropical cyclones. Sailors planning to go on a long voyage are now rightly concerned about how these changes will affect their plans. Jimmy has been monitoring global weather conditions since the 1980s, both for his own interest and to update his various books.
The first part of the talk is based on the findings of a survey he concluded among 65 long distance sailors, more than half of them circumnavigators, backed by comments from forecasters, marine insurers and boat builders. The second part will describe how to plan a future voyage by taking into account all those factors and bring the ship and its crew safely home.
