Best Time for Sailing around the World

These times are the "absolute best" moths  in terms of wind and weather.  Some are "year round" locations (just as there is sailing on SFBay in February).

Sometimes there's good sailing in many of these locations at other months,  but not all of them of course (e.g. hurricanes, doldrums, snow!).
