Photo credits

Updated By the Catamaran Index editorial teamMethodology

Every photograph on this site is listed below with its author, the page it comes from and its licence. 4 of the 34 need a credit under their licence (CC BY or CC BY-SA); that credit is also shown next to the photo wherever it appears. The others are free to use without credit and are listed here as a courtesy. We only use photos whose author, source and licence are recorded.

Files are resized and recompressed for the web; nothing else is changed (no crop of the file, no filters). Photos are illustrative: a caption or alt text names a place only where the source page does, and a photo does not imply that we cover or recommend a specific charter.
