 About this site

Posted: 12/26/2002
     This site has been created by Hayden and Radeen Cochran, Island Packet owners since 1991. Sailing out of Rock Hall, MD home of the largest Island Packet Dealer in the world, Gratitude Yachting Center, Hayden & Radeen have photographed hundreds of Island Packet Yachts. Processing and uploading these photos to a web page is a difficult process. Managing a web site of photos organized in a logical manner is also a very difficult process. Attempting to meet these challenges is the focus of this site. We hope everyone can share the true joy of ownership through participating in IslandPacketPhotos.com

The goals of this site:

  1. To allow individual owner management of photos.
  2. To create a library of owner modifications.
  3. To provide a site for sharing photos of cruises and passages.
  4. To provide a site for factory and dealer photographs.
  5. To share the joy of ownership!

How this site works:

The site is organized by Island Packet Yacht models, along with a few other key categories. Sub-categories have been created under each yacht model, providing an organization for owner modifications. One to fifteen photographs can be uploaded per photo album. Captions can be added for each photo. The uploaded photos are stored in a database and sorted into the correct category. The owner of the photo albums can make edits, deletions, or additions to their albums in the future. Everyone (even non-registered users, i.e. potential owners) can view all photo albums. Photo albums can be sent via email to anyone with an email address. Topics can be searched and photos can be found easily.  Enjoy your use of IslandPacketPhotos.com and share your photos with us!

Sincerely,

Hayden & Radeen (photo)
