SORC 1983 documentary

Here is the video documentary of the 1983 Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC). It features some great sailing footage of the maxis like Kialoa IV, Condor, Nirvana, Midnight Sun and Windward Passage, and the keen battle between the top Class C yachts Locura and Scarlett O'Hara. Also featured are Class B winner Carat and the first of Farr's return to IOR design in this period, Class E winner Migizi.
(unfortunately YouTube has deleted the soundtrack from this video)
