Mike Harker in his Hunter 49 “Wanderlust 3″ dominated the cruising class and bested all but 5 of the racing class in the 2008 Caribbean 1500! His time of 8 days and 1 hour meant that he arrived ahead of such RACE boats as a Beneteau 57, MacGregor 65, Jeanneau 57, Tayana 58, and Hinkley 51.

At one point, they were beating to windward in 8-12 foot seas under triple-reefed main. Mike comments, “Most of the sailors in this event were impressed with the new Hunter 49  as being very blue water capable.”

Congrats, Mike!
