I recently ran across an hour long Gary Jobson Video - http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/2014/10/14/video-southern-ocean-racing-conference-1983/  documenting the 1983 SORC.  We were there with Albemarle Pippin, racing in what Gary calls the most competitive Class D. The top four boats in Class D, Scarlett O'Hara, Locura, Mea Culpa, and Bright Finish were also the top four in the fleet.   Our crew included FBYC members and friends Evie Scott, Bill Gieg, John Guy, Drew Sinnickson, Chip and Cary Brierre, Dave Dunigan, Bev Crump and Jim Rogers and Kiwis -  Martin Wylie and Claire Anstett. 

At the end of the Circuit we were awarded the Standard Hull Trophy, for the top finish by a non-custom boat.

Everybody may not want to join the 17,000 other "views" but I was able to spot Pippin at 33:35 and 50:27. Screen shots of both clips are shown.
